Read this today and got quite concerned. Apologies if this has already been posted.

Fortunately, there are so many users out there that there will always be sufficient demand to provide backwards compatibility. I doubt there is much cause for concern.

The article is slightly dated. Adobe is commited to solving this problem with the DNG format. I've been saving a copy of my NEFs & ORFs to DNG for the future.

That being said I'm all for open source for any software application. 99% of the time the end user benefits.

I'm sure Microsoft Access has "so many users" too, but you wouldn't believe the time and effort I had to put into getting data out of an Access 4 database at work.
Others have had similar problems with old Word and Excel files.

Donaldo, you might like to see these threads ...
