Sure, I think so. I wasn’t saying I don’t see opportunities in Metro, and neither that the thing itself is a bad idea. I was rather criticising the way MS is once again ignoring everything that currently exists in favor of a completely new development. This criticism isn’t mainly about the background of the technology itself, but about the consequences this will almost inevitably have: yet another so-called standard that MS keeps a tight hand on.

It might be easier to create/modify Metro documents than PDF files. XML is pretty standard now (accessible through any language). PDF is far from easy to manipulate. Don’t you think ?
