XPS/Windows Vista Test Tools and Training
Microsoft's operating system, "Windows Vista,"
is replacing its Windows XP product line. As part of the Windows Vista product,
Microsoft has developed a printing path (called XML Paper Specification
or "XPS") to replace the GDI print path (graphics/printing
layer used by native Win32 applications). The GDI graphics layer has been replaced by a new graphics layer called Windows Presentation Foundation.
Now, Microsoft has released its latest edition of Windows Vista, SP-1 (Service Pack 1). The SP-1 version is expected to gain wider adoption than the original release, so it’s more important than ever to measure your devices against this standard.
