metadata standards

WinXP does not support editing ITPC or EXIF meta-data, this is an indurty wide stadard and although it may be for some users protection websites like Flickr who are pushing forwards Web 2.0 technology cannot utilize the vast amount of user entered info because Windows XP has its own meta-data summary fields.

I want to know if Windows Vista will support EXIF and IPTC editing in windows. Why, so when I upload my images to Flickr it will know what the tags are and comments etc... right now it doesn't and its Microsoft's fault.

I'm pretty sure that Windows Vista adheres to the industry standard EXIF and IPTC, however I could be wrong.
