So, do you guys know if XPS adds any value to the existing PDF standard, or XPS is just another monopolistic movement from Microsoft? If this is just a monopolistic movement from Microsoft it should be cited in the article. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/195.235.227.10|195.235.227.10]] ([[User talk:195.235.227.10|talk]]) 09:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
Why is this format referred to in the past tense? I have not found any mention of the format's demise or abandonment in the article, so the past tense is confusing. [[User:Wthrower|Wthrower]] ([[User talk:Wthrower|talk]]) 03:11, 12 June 2014 (UTC)▼

== Past Tense ==
▲Why
the intro is written at way to sophisticated a level for a general encylopedia
re write it so it is intelligelbe to you grandmother, somoething along the lines of a is a type of electroni file that is like a piece of paper, in that it is hard to change after it is made, unlike say a typical wordprocessor document which can be chagned at will
The XPS rules (specificatins) include rules for describebing the page, font, etc
(and if you carp about my poor speling you get an exgtra deduction for not seeing forest for the trees) <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.245.17.105|50.245.17.105]] ([[User talk:50.245.17.105|talk]]) 19:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== OpenXPS vs XPS readers ==
The article mention libgxps based readers as supporting OpenXPS, which is not accurate. It seems to only support the older XPS format. (eVince, possibly others) (The entire third party support section seems to include possibly XPS-only readers in the OpenXPS article) [[Special:Contributions/196.14.169.11|196.14.169.11]] ([[User talk:196.14.169.11|talk]]) 17:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
== Microsoft removes XPS Viewer from Windows 10 ==
Hi. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, but I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to add a section about Microsoft removing the XPS Viewer from Windows 10.<ref>https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/unlock-xps-viewer/</ref> It would seem to indicate that they have largely abandoned support for the XML format.
