Microsoft and RAW photo management

I've known for a long time that Apple computers have an appeal for professional artists, be they in music, traditional art or photography.

Since especially photography has interested me lately, I've been keen on learning more about professional photography.

It came as a surprise to me when I noticed that Microsoft is also in this business. They have a complete web site (under Windows XP) dedicated to photography for the pros.

For instance, you can download for free a RAW Image Thumbnailer, learn about color management in Windows XP, and more. Hopefully you will find these links as useful as I did.
