HD Photo

Another image format, that too from Microsoft. Nowadays, i'm little scared to see anything from Microsoft, as they do jus to show that they are also in the market. However, as i've read in many articles this image format HD Photo sounds to be good and have more potential to take over the JPEG formats. I still wonder why the HD tag when this format have nothing to do with High Definition.
