Adobe and Microsoft squaring up over XML forms

Adobe and Microsoft are both squaring up to take xml to the desktop for knowledge workers. This article aims to place a line between the functions of the two vendors applications, arguing that the subtle differences between the offerings makes them compatible rather than antagonistic. The key point for me is that they are placing the form (and awareness of the structure it imposes) in the mass consciousness, making the launch of consumer forms packages a welcome flag for structured information processes.
