"In Vista/Longhorn server, the file system (NTFS) will start supporting a new filesystem object (examples of existing filesystem objects are files, folders etc.). This new object is a symbolic link. Think of a symbolic link as a pointer to another file system object (it can be a file, folder, shortcut or another symbolic link)." More news out of Redmond: "Microsoft will add a 'Save As' function in its upcoming Microsoft Office 12 for publishing the developer's own electronic document format, XPS, another move in a competitive campaign against Adobe."

More on the XPS cross-platform plans:
"We are planning on having viewers that support Mac and Unix—cross platform support is a critical part of the XPS story. I also know that there are several third-parties looking at building solutions for other platforms – so potentially the market will deliver something on its own, which would be great."
