When you choose "write tag info to files" it writes it to IPTC which is read by Vista. Matt: Please if you have the ability to do so can you try to get the legacy support implemented with an "always use legacy compatibility mode"? I would really like to ditch the legacy tools that I have for organization in favor of the new builtin tools in Vista. While I will ditch my legacy tools up front, I won't be ditching some of the tools that are later in the process such as publishing to Flickr, sharing with other people who have legacy apps, etc. I'd really like to be able to turn on that compatibility mode until such time as the world has a chance to adjust to XMP. All in all, I'm thrilled to hear that the tags are using XMP. I had feared some completely Microsoft-centric metadata layer and am overjoyed to hear that XMP is the model. Yay!

I've tried a bunch and have yet to find any that could locate those tags. Matt, are you aware of any third-party programs that can read CMP metadata written to photo files by Windows Vista?
