One element of Microsoft's next OS will be Metro, a new document file-format that will support printing the fancy graphics effects in the client interface.
Metro is the code name for a new XML-based document technology framework, to appear in Longhorn, Microsoft's next generation of Windows. Metro is an open-format page description language that allows users to share, print, view and archive the layout versions of documents. It's designed to improve print fidelity while reducing file size to make printing more efficient.
