Don't mess with my JPEG!
The Joint Photographic Experts Group, namesake of the universal photo compression format known as JPEG, will push to add a new standard of image compression called JPEG XR.

Pushed my Microsoft and works with Windows Vista... guaranteed to suck!
Not holding my breath.
For a while, the same group was pushing JPEG 2000. I never saw much of a difference between the standard compression and the newer (2000) version. Maybe this one is truly better. We'll have to wait and see how well this one takes hold, but I'm not gonna change the way I compress my image files until I have to.
