Has Adobe abandoned DNG?

A couple of years ago, Adobe announced DNG, telling us that it was open, non-proprietary and would be wonderfully supported.

Yet over a year after the introduction of Vista, they haven't bothered shipping a codec for DNG.

Are they just abandoning the format already?

I think Adobe is abandoning Vista.

The problem with Micsoft is they don't play nice with compainies that have orginal ideas. The only way DNG will ever be use by Microsoft is if they buy Adobe. I sure hope that never happens.

DON'T EVEN THINK IT !!

CSx/Bridge/Lightroom see DNG. So you want Explorer to see them too?

use this then:

or

You could write your own:

Better yet ADOBE could write one since well, they seem to know the DNG format better than Microsoft. But that might require effort on Adobe's part.
