iView bought by Microsoft

Seems like everything I like is swallowed up by a bigger fish. I believe that iView will be bundled with the operating system and the "pro" version will be sold separately. iView began life on the mac . I use it to generate the galleries you see on this site and for managing (finding and cataloguing) images. It's one of those programs where you never need to open a manual or look up anything in help. Very straight-foward user interface. So I guess it's all part of the war to manage images. My guess is that Microsoft will "integrate" a raw conversion program into it.
