iView joins Microsoft

"iView has been acquired and is now part of the Microsoft Corporation... digital asset management has become an essential requirement for all creative professionals... You all can continue to use and buy iView products knowing that they will be fully supported as Microsoft evolves the products in the future on both the Windows and Mac platforms"

This is an interesting development in DAM. Portfolio and now Adobe's Bridge (that ships with CS) have been gaining share on the Mac side. Now microsoft can quickly jump in and try to make Media Pro the leader on the Windows side. I think that Extensis has the most to worry about in this situation.
