Longhorn Photo Support
The addition of raw image manipulation in Longhorn is a great plus for photographers using the latest digital cameras which support this format. If you spend $1k to $6k on a Nikon DSLR, the raw image manipulation software should be included. However, this is not the case. You are asked to spend another $99 for the what should be already included with such a camera.

If Longhorn can also provide some of the filters and tweaks offered by other "off-the shelf" programs, e.g., Adobe Photoshop CS, then Longhorn would have a "lock" in the digital photography software battles.

I look forward to using it and hope that Microsoft adds some of the important pieces to make its raw support not just an add-on, but and intergal piece of software for those of us who own these cameras.
