It's a great money making opportunity for Micro$oft. Think of future versions with DRM built in!

JPEG is the standard, is it not? Virtually every Internet graphic is in JPEG format (with a few GIFs thrown in). Personal digital cameras format pics in JPEG. So, why does Microsoft think it's necessary to come up with a new format?...Oh yeah. *Monopoly*

Microsoft perhaps had come up with a better name... these things will be called WiMP's in no time flat!

I stay from Microsoft proprietary formats. They pissed me off when they threatened to sue the author of VirtualDub over his support of WMV.

"JPEG" will be replaced "WiMP?"

Well, since its Microsoft...

Steven Wells, a part-time professional photographer, said he sees promise in the new file format.

A real professional photographer wouldn't use a compressed format. They aim for detail.
