Microsoft Adds RAW Support to Windows VISTA and Windows 7 - Finally!
Friday, 07/29/11 - Microsoft announced today that Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011 and Windows Explorer now supports RAW format images using the new Microsoft Camera Codec Pack for Windows 7 and Vista. You can download the new codec, which supports more than 120 DSLR cameras in Photo Gallery, as well as in Windows Explorer.
