XPS is Microsoft's proprietary answer to PDFs. You can extrapolate from there. If you're all Windows all the time, the fact that it's built into the OS could offer the advantages mentioned by Paul. Good luck using those docs outside the context of Windows.

Yes it was easier. I needed the application to have no user interface. I had a lot of problems getting a seamless print to happen using PDF without looking to pay for licenses which I didn't want to do at the time.
That's interesting. I'm working with a fellow who's using PDFCreator on the web server to serve up PDFs generated out of a WestWind WebConnect app. I wonder if XPS could preview in a web page the same as a PDF could? I recall years ago systems didn't seem to know what to do or how to handle XPS files. That's why my interest dropped at that time.
