Hi
I was reading the MSDN article about XPS, and I'm quite intrigued. I'd like to have a go at using XPS for a document creation system on our internal Intranet.
I suppose there are 2 main questions..
1) I've got VS2005 - can I write XPS documents now? Or do I need some other SDKs (eg WPF). Would I be able to view/print them?!
2) When does v1.0 come out, or a go-live license?!
Cheers

I think you'll need the WinFX Runtimes installed (alteast for the user) if its a non-vista machine - like XP or Win2k3.
The WinFX runtimes will allow you to view the XPS documents in the xps host / IE. The APIs you need to modify / work with the XPS docs are in WinFX, if you have the runtimes on the user's machines - your app can work with the XPS docs on a non-vista machine.
I am currently working on XP as well as Vista - and XPS docs work great on both.
