Open XML and Office Services

Brian Jones has a new post on his blog, http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2009/11/03/open-xml-and-office-services.aspx ,showing a great scenario for using Open XML and the new Office Services. A big highlight for me with these new tools is the ability to create PDFs at the end of the document generation process without including the Word client and performing Office automation. The scenario highlighted is just the tip of the iceberg of the power being brought to the enterprise.
