.png isn't something new. If you are using a program that doesn't support it then you shoud get a new version or another program. Mozilla supports .png and we are talking (at least I am) about screen captures to submit to bugzilla. If you take a screen capture and compress it to .jpg then the final image will be different than the original, the text will have lots of noise around them, any sharp borders (and there are lots of lines in a screen capture) will have noise, unless you compress the image so little that it becomes much bigger that a proper .png .jpg is perfecto for photos or that kind of images, but not for screen captures.
