Microsoft Goes After PDF with 'Metro'

Longhorn may have taken center stage at WinHEC 2005 in Seattle this week, but perhaps the most important news coming from Microsoft is a new document spec known as "Metro." Metro encompasses a family of technologies covering document creation, viewing and printing, which could serve to replace Adobe's PDF platform.

. . .

Unlike Adobe PDF, however, Metro will be tightly integrated into Windows when Longhorn arrives in late 2006. Metro directly leverages Longhorn technologies including the WinFX programming model and Avalon graphics subsystem. Because Metro support is built into the system, Windows can display Metro documents using Avalon without launching an external application.

OneStat.com today reported that Mozilla's browsers (all Gecko-based browsers except Netscape) have a total global usage share of 8.69 percent. The total usage share of Mozilla increased 0.24 percent since February 2005. Microsoft's Internet Explorer still dominates the global browser market with a global usage share of 86,63 percent which is 0.65 percent less as at the end of February.

. . .

The most popular browsers on the web are:

1. Microsoft IE 86.63 %
2. Mozilla Firefox 8.69 %
3. Apple Safari 1.26 %
4. Netscape 1.08 %
5. Opera 1.03 %
