Something to read... full link at bottom ...
Well Microsoft is at it again... but this might be handy for all of us RAW users working on XP and eventually Longhorn... Well see what happens but if anything you'll be able to open RAW images without extra 3rd party software... FYI
... Microsoft revealed this week that it will be adding support for Raw digital camera images to both Windows XP and Longhorn. XP support will become available in the next few weeks via a free new PowerToy add-on. But Longhorn, due in late 2006, will have much more powerful and integrated Raw support, Microsoft says. .... The problem with Raw support is that virtually every single digital camera uses a slightly different version. So Microsoft is working with major camera makers, including Canon and Nikon, as well as Fuji Photo Film and Adobe....

Personally, I use Microsoft (MS) products all the time, what I meant by that is that they like to stick their fingers into every software field out there ... anti-spyware, game systems, photo editing, music, every enterprise tool, finance... the list goes on ... but don't get me wrong ... it's certainly not a bad things ...
For example, Microsofts new Anti-Spyware Software for example is excellent, it just ROCKS.
