Answer 2

Information about Removing XPS from .NET 4
http://blogs.msdn.com/jgoldb/archive/2009/10/19/what-s-new-in-net-framework-4-client-profile-beta-2.aspx

We removed the XPS Viewer and MSXML 6.0 from the Client Profile redist.

This is fact. But XPS does not exsist in Full Version too.

Install XP SP2 in VMware or Virtual PC. Install .NET framework 4 Beta 2. Copy there some XPS file and try to find any XPS feature in .NET 4.

Unfortulanly XPS droped by microsoft. XPS Might be good competitor to PDF.
