I can't believe JPGs would no longer be shown in Vista in near future. But I don't care much about thumbnails as long as files can be viewed/organized with the right software such as PS Elements, LR or Picasa. Vista Photo Gallery disqualifies itself as a tool for this if not able to thumbnail/ open RAW files.
Otherwise for my use Vista 64-bit is very fast and very good. If only Epson would release a 64-bit driver for my 2450 scanner, I could get rid of XP.
