Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

If you ran to Nikon's web site (like I did) to download the Nikon NEF codec for Vista and then proceeded to add some keywords or captions to your photos then I hope you have a backup. Those files will not render in Adobe Bridge or PhotoShop any longer. You see when the NEF codec is installed, then Vista proceeds to write any meta data changes using the supplied codec (if one is available). So it appears that Nikon is making changes to the file that Adobe Camera Raw does not understand.
As a test I placed the modified NEF file back on my memory card and the camera rendered it just fine.
I hope Adobe fixes this ASAP.
This also applies if you have edited the photo using the Photo Info tool and have the NEF codec installed on either XP or Vista.
