If it is up to Microsoft, the omnipresent JPEG image format will be replaced by Windows Media Photo. The software maker detailed the new image format Wednesday at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference here. Windows Media Photo will be supported in Windows Vista and also be made available for Windows XP, Bill Crow, program manager for Windows Media Photo said in a presentation.

If you want anyone to take you seriously in this market sector then you will GIVE it away. No Licensing fees ever. Make the source code available so that it can be ported to other platforms and incorporated into lots of applications without fear.
Are you all ready to watch the pigs fly outta my ass ?

Please take this format and throw it into the Sea. We do not need another Photo format especially one so restrictive as this one is.

If you don't then this stunt will be regarded with suspicion.
Remember that we have long memories and since you went after many of the major players in this market space with the FAT Patent you have a lot of work to do to reestablish your creditabilty.
