>But it is not kosher
It is if they get a Rabbi to say the proper prayers over it and follow the
proper procedures for making it kosher, which will have nothing to do with
Cm or anytrhing else digital. :-)

Not really true nowadays. Windows (since 98SE, NT excepted) does have CM at
the OS level, but what is also built in is Windows default Sophist
assumption that all untagged images are sRGB. This enables modern s/w and
printers and scanners to all work to a common colourspace by default. You
can override it and use another space if you wish. However some 'default
sRGB' devices can only do sRGB.
I can see why MS did this, as the only way to belatedly tack CM on to a
system which has masses of legacy s/w and h/w which knows nothing of CM.
But it is not kosher.
