I knew about the XPS Document format from a long time, i had download Windows Vista Product Guide in XPS Format, which was half the size of PDF Format.
I was confused at that time wether MS purposefully configured the PDF file to be double the size of XPS to promote XPS, but was not aware of the way to compare them both.
Just today, in on of my PDF books on Tips and Tweaks for Vista, i saw a tip on using the XPS Document Printer, which can save the pixel replica of any document using the print feature.
I decided to compare PDF and XPS formats by printing some of my PDFs to XPS files.
Guess what, XPS measure up less than half the size of PDF files. And there was no compromise on quality.
MS has a winner over here, according to a common users opinion. I did not test it thoroughly, nor am i well versed with the in and outs of PDF and XPS.
But this was my opinion after a small comparision.
