--- Quote from: Calum ---so... i won't need *any* additional software to see these files? this leads me to believe the files themselves are executable, and somehow contain the ability to show documents on a variety of platforms. I do not see how a viewerless file format will be able to rival pdfs. wait, wait, wait. so it *does* need a client, and that client is internet explorer! this of course excludes all systems without internet explorer installed, some macs and all non-windows systems, basically. and i won't hold my breath waiting for somebody to reverse engineer a metro client for linux/bsd etc etc etc...
