From time to time people ask me what i use to view XPS in Linux (unfortunately my company uses them for the salary sheets and stuff like that) and my answer is Okular. So that means there is a lack of awareness of all the document formats Okular supports, so remember, if you are forced into an XPS file Okular will help you :-) And yes, it does not implement all the features of the format but all files i have seem to open fine so you know the deal, if you have one that doesn't work, report a bug and maybe then it will work in the next version
Update: BTW Okular is supposed to work (i never tried myself) on other OSes including, Windows, MacOsX, *BSD, etc but seems those people has less problems finding a suitable viewer there

I actually had an opportunity to try Okular on Windows (I think during the 4.2 timeframe) and it actually worked quite well IIRC.
Okular really is one of the best applications I know. I simply love it. :)
Thank you and all the other Okular and poppler developers for this wonderful present!
Hello,
I would like to just react to the okular usage on windows. I am using okular since I was able to with my linux distribution. I recently moved jobs and now have to use windows. I am very happy to still use okular.
Thank you to all the okular team, you have a very happy user
mupdf is another good option. It works well for me, especially when Evince fails to open some XPS files: http://www.fclose.com/b/forum/view-xps-files-on-linux-thread35.0/
Linux users running Gnome can use eVince instead of Okular - it helps avoid the installation of the KDE dependencies.
