Speaking of new features… In the most recently released build you’ll find a new ‘pivot’ in the our photo library. It’s the ‘tags’ pivot and enables you to see your photos grouped by tags.

This is what tags look like in the Windows Photo Gallery:

And this is what they look like in Media Center:

In the comments to a recent post I believe Peter Near asked for more improvements to be made to the photos experience. What would you like to see in the next version of Media Center (not Vista, the one after :) ).

Update: Someone asked if WMP supports this and they do (since we use WMP as the data store for pictures). Oddly they’re called tags in Photo Gallery and Media Center but keywords in Media Player. Here’s a screenshot:

And yes, the tags are written back to the picture and are transportable. It’d be great to see Zooomr, Flickr, etc all rally around the same standard.
