How MS promotes XPS over PDF

Today i was browsing the MS Learning website and noticed that Microsoft now offers a new down loadable transcript in both XPS and PDF format. Because i don't have the XPS reader installed on my workstation i was looking for the PDF version. Have a look at the following screenshot ;)

Wow ! That's a huge difference, when i want to download the file in XPS it says: "approximately a 500KB file" and when i want to download the PDF version it says:"Approximately a 10MB file"
I downloaded the file in PDF and it was 248 KB , I wonder who has a PDF of 10 MB?
