Well,
actually you are not that alone.
This software has it's weak points, but I still like it... I have made
some comparisons with PS and Lightroom and Digital Photo Utility stands
very well. In some areas (especially in lens specific corrections) it's
better than Adobe counterparts. So I first convert all my IMPORTANT
photos from RAW to 16-bit TIFF with DPU and only then use PS for further
corrections.

Just a cursory report. The installer no longer needs a properly
labeled CD in a drive to install the update, (well that actually
stopped a few versions ago but it's nice to see that it hasn't come
back). My hacks to get the software to run on the Win2K box still
work, (I always feel a bit of trepidation about updates, never know
what might break). The main stated reasons on Pentax's site for the
update has mostly to do with the 645D,GPS support, and improved noise
reduction. However there seems to be an improvement in the speed of
most imaging operations. Time will tell.
All in all despite the UI being a bit quirky it's a worthy program
especially since it's essentially free if you own a Pentax Camera.
