I've been using the Microsoft RAW Viewer download/powertoy for the last couple of years so that I can view my 20D's CR2 files just the same as any other image file - i.e. thumbnails during file browsing and that sort of thing.

Trouble is, my new 40D's CR2 files seem to be incompatible and there's no sign of any updates at Microsoft - the download hasn't changed in a couple of years so I guess there are now plenty of other DSLRs whose RAW files aren't supported.

Does anyone know of an alternative tool to allow RAW files to be viewed as normal thumbnails in Windows?
