Vista looses Metadata

February 12, 2007

Reports are coming in that Windows Vista is stripping metadata from images, or making it unusable.

According to one Microsoft Knowledge Base article, “When you edit the properties of a photo to add metadata to that photo in Windows Vista, the software for the digital camera may no longer recognize the metadata that is automatically added to the photo by the digital camera.”

CNET has a brief article on that and other apparent issues.
