Wouldn't you think that fixes would come before features in a development cycle? Existing bugs, new bugs and new features are all addressed concurrently during the development cycle. When they start developing new features in an existing area of the program, they are often pulling open old

Well, this is all speculation on my part, of course. But, first, I am talking about EPS not PDF. I can make PDFs. Even if a Microsoft competitor to EPS were only as successful as WMA vs. MP3 that would be fine with me. After all, I can make a WMA and send it to just about anyone in the world and

Regarding EPS, my hope is that when they're tearing things apart to get ready for Longhorn that this will be something that needs to get addressed. It's probably going to be a nightmarish year for them with two large platform changes arriving (Longhorn and Mac Intel), and there might be some deep

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
