I'm actually kind of skeptical about that. I think that PDF is too
well-established as a universal standard at this point. I think MS's
attempt to impose their own proprietary alternative to PDF will go
about as well as their attempt to impose WMA as an alternative to MP3
(i.e., not a complete failure, but far, far short of MS's goals).

MakeMusic chooses to support that, the work they do
there might very well spill over into EPS. Who knows
how related the technologies will be. I would actually
be somewhat surprised if working on one didn't help

I am not as optimistic as you about Longhorn forcing any 'spill over'
into
EPS. However, if Microsoft decides to produce a competitor format to
EPS
then it may quickly overtake Adobe, and then the new format will be a
common
enough standard to _replace_ EPS purposes for us FinWin users.
