Not true about it being the first PDF. There are quite a few in the
downloads areas. All marketing docs are in PDF format and have been for a
long while.
I'm still hoping for a day when *someone* - *anyone* replaces the PDF
format.

I'm guessing this is a PDF because it's an extract of paid content,
and PDF has a more effective copy restrictions implementation ("DRM").
I've seen PDFs from Microsoft Downloads before.
I PDF to word processor docs, as (1) PDFs won't look different on a
different computer and (2) it's pretty hard to accidentally edit a
PDF.
I'm somewhat surprised Microsoft hasn't been pushing XPS more. But
I'm happy they're not; I don't need Yet Another Viewer to support.
