VDS 6 includes a demo for *converting ini files into xml files.

So my questions are:
- How many real-life applications use xml files instead of ini files to store settings in?
- Is the use of xml files instead of ini files a Vista initiated thing?


* The resulting xml file will not open in IE6 without tweaking but that it not the purpose of the demo script. The tweaking needed was removing all [ ] ; and prepending a _ to any tag names that start with a numeral and adding top level opening and closing tags.

My guess is that its an extra feature for those who use XML extensively.

I checked out every demo and read most the online and offline help stuff today, pritty exciting stuff.

I have a couple older browsers I'd like to update with the VDS6 Browser.

I can't download the V-setup, I guess its part of the last things they never had time to complete yet, but who can be pushy after such a nice susprize

XML pretty much is the new flat file format, many online applications use it as a way to share information between applicatoins and between developers as it's considered a common format thats easy to parse and write to. Microsoft office 2007 uses xml as well now.
