Microsoft is going to be adding RAW support to Windows in a few different ways. This is very cool for those of us that have Digital SLRs that support the RAW format.
- They are adding RAW support into Longhorn, which is a great move IMHO. However, this is not greatly exciting "now".
- Better news is that they are soon going to release a free download for Windows XP that will allow viewing and previewing of RAW files within Windows Explorer (specifically Canon and Nikon format RAW files). This will be invaluable.
- Additionally, the new version of Digital Image Suite will support RAW in both the library and editor applications.
