Windows Vista Messes with Your Metadata
It seems that all is not well with Windows Vista and metadata produced by digital cameras. CNET are reporting that if you edit a photo’s metadata through Vista or Microsoft Photo Info, then your digicam’s software may no longer recognise the metadata, or even worse, the photo itself. So far, Nikon, Sony and Olympus have issued Vista RAW codecs to solve this issue. I’m still using good old Windows XP, so have you installed Vista and ran across this problem?

I have always used Windows, but the rule still holds: never install a just-issued product. Let the problems play out first. I will wait a year, or two, maybe three, before I move into Vista. I want to know what I am dealing with before I trust my photos and other data to the great Microsoft unknown. You would think they would have learned something about product upgrades by now - considering the problems with '95, '98, ME (aghhhh), etc.

Why am I not surprised?! I never got that far as Vista steadfastly refused to read my SanDisk Extreme III SD-card, so back to XP it is!

As far as I understand only the Nikon codec has problems so far. On the Microsoft Photography Blog the just posted a note saying Nikon is working on the problem and no images are really lost.
Btw: the link to cnet points to Ricoh (?).
