It's microsoft, new proprietary formats is what they do. They hate open source they hate standards. The only time they will buy into a standard (like html or css) is when they are backs to the wall.

I don't like some of the policies of MS, but Windows 7 was a comeback for them (it's 75% as good as OS X imo), and this reader is also a step forward for them. They may be years behind the creative cultures at Apple or Google, but they may be staging a comeback!
