I have had more blue-screens with Vista than ever and Vista has eaten several recently created files. I've been a CP/M, DOS, Wintel guy since 1982 and I have to say Apple is looking mighty tasty.

Exactly. I will never use Microsoft's HD Photo format and will argue strenuously that no one else should use it either. Why? Because it is covered by Microsoft patents, and is a proprietary format. There is no excuse for becoming more proprietary with the passage of time. DNG is more open than all of the camera-raw formats; it is a step in the right direction. Microsoft HD Photo is a step backwards. I hope it dies the same slow and painful death that DIVX did, and I hope it sparks as much outrage. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
