[Angie Jones]

Hi All

I'm aware that Kodak Imaging is not included with XP but can anyone confirm
why?

Because it's a separate program put out by Kodak?

I'm aware that Kodak Imaging is not included with XP but can anyone confirm why?

Because this was third-party software and the current owner does not give it
away for free anymore. See also

The owner of the program increased the licensing fees that Microsoft
would have had to pay to include it in XP. You can buy it from them
direct if you want. Link below.

They must really think they have a product...it costs more than the OS.

The writers wanted more money than MS would pay. So it was bumped off.
They now want $170 per seat for this.

Because if they were small round and white they'd be asprin. Duh!

Hi All

I'm aware that Kodak Imaging is not included with XP but can anyone confirm
why?

Perhaps because it's not a Microsoft product and Kodak didn't license
their product for 3rd-party distribution?

They have to be SOME color?

For "correct" answer to that you would have to ask the CEOs of Microsoft and
Kodak.

That site does NOT explain 'WHY'. OP wants to know why.

Because Jesus Christ wanted to charge more for the license to use any
other color!

No, it's because Noah was color blind.

It's because MS goes with the cheapest bidder to subcontract for the
image viewer, and this time around Kodak was not the cheapest bidder.

Not specifically, but I think you helped confirm it by the link you posted:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308979

"The third-party products that are discussed in this article are
manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft."

They do that with many elements of the OS, for example they also do it
with the defrag tool. This all points out that MS either subcontracts
or licenses 3rd party products for inclusion into it's software. The
'going for the cheapest bidder' part was just a guess, but it is the
only smart business decision to make in this situation.

I posted no link! I stated original poster wanted to know "WHY". Only
reliable answer is one coming from the CEO of Microsoft or Kodak.

I suppose the actual absolutely correct answer would be that "there was
no "Kodak Imaging" at the time Windows XP was released.
