[QUOTE]I don't get it... What's wrong with PNG. First MS fails to properly supports PNG, and then they come out with their own standard. Isn't BMP enough? :) I wonder if IE7 secretly supports it already? [\QUOTE]

I don't get it either... PNG is fine.

BMP has no compression though so that is what is wrong with that.

I would bet my first born that IE7 has support for this.

Does anyone think that being able to rotate an image without having to decode and recode it is a rediculous feature to be totting? Who cares what goes on in the backend when I rotate an image, it still rotates.

I am unimpressed and in fact sacred that I may need an M$ operating system to deal with these if they end up in the main stream. I don't see that happening until at least 2008 though.
