In another forum I saw this article:

It looks like Microsoft is starting to take photographers more seriously. I wonder if Tim Grey has anything to do with that?

This has made me put my Mac migration thoughts on hold. I wanted to use iView MediaPro on the Mac, but the future of OS X development is now in question since that is a direct competitor to Windows. Perhaps all of the excellent cataloging features and scripting capabilities will be built into Adobe LightRoom and that will become a viable alternative.

I think the Microsoft entry into photography
big time has Tim Grey written all over it.
It looks to me like its going to be Adobe
vs Microsoft and others.
