CMS in Windows Vista

Hi folks.
I have tested color management and Windows Vista, and I have some questions and comments.
Test facilities: Firs of all you must download 4 images from this web page. It is hosted by the International Color Consortium (ICC) at www.color.org
The link to the page with the four images: http://www.color.org/version4html.html You must manual dowload the four images, the are named "lower left" - "lower - right" - "upper left" - "upper right".
Then the fun begin. This four images have four different ICC profiles on them. If you are using a system with no ICC support, the upper left and lower right look very ugly. If you are using a system with ICC version 2 suport, only the upper right image look ugly. And finaly, if you are using a system with ICC version 4 support all the images look ok.
The IE browser don't have Color Management Support at all. On a Apple Computer using Safari there is suport for Color Management and the image look ok.
Windows Vista filebrowser: I don't know why, but the Windows file browser, if you set it on show miniatures, it shows the icc2 color corect. Do the engine that make the miniature images from the jpg files actualy suport Color Management? Do anybody know anything about this????
Office 2002 and Office 2007 beta open the images in version ICC 2 correct. This mean to me that suprisingly Office 2002 and Office 2007 beta suport Color Management ICC version 2. Do anybody know about this????
ICC version 4: Office 2002 can use images with ICC version 4, but don't show them correct. Office 2007 beta DONT SHOW the images. It show BLACK BOXES instead. This is totaly wrong and should be corrected asap. Best regard Finn -- Colors are beautiful when they are calibrated.
