It is useful for previewing direction within Explorer. It also
works nice as a default viewer as it is pretty fast.

Doesn't work for my Pentax *istDS RAWs

Microsoft announced that with Longhorn / Vista they would have a more
comprehensive capability, in which the various camera makers could
supply codecs to support their formats. And Adobe will provide one for
DNG, of course.

What we see at the moment is a stop-gap until then. Microsoft were
probably a bit concerned about Preview in Tiger, which I believe
already supports more than just Nikon and Canon.
