The name change is primarily due to the conflict the ‘Microsoft’ name would create, a JPEG XR name retains neutralism.Bill Crow the person heading the project and in charge of Windows Live Labs Seadragon said that the JPEG group, with representatives around the globe approved it and have now begun the standardisation and the replacement of the old JPEG format.The XR is put in place to explain the ‘Extended Range’ of wider and finer range of tonal gradients; other benefits include in-camera imaging processing support and, supposedly as well as hopefully, better compression.After a year of standardisation the group hopes that large-scale adoption will begin to really take effect, but it’s important to note that support is already included in Windows Vista.<img src="http://www.joejoe.org/img/world_link.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Source: <a href="http://bink.nu/news/microsoft-format-to-become-jpeg-successor.aspx" target="_blank">Bink.nu </a></blockquote>
