How to View XPS Files on Mac OS X or Linux?

The XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a fixed-document standard originally developed by Microsoft. This XML-based format features device independence and resolution independence, and can store the document layout as well as the appearance of each page.

Just as any modern document format should, XPS supports encrypting, net certificates and appearances besides that. XPS is also script-free, which makes it much safer format than PDF.
