Jpegs on WinXP

Just a note that some filetypes don't need extensions in Windows.  For instance, Office documents haven't needed them since Office 2000 (ie. File.doc and File will both open in Word).  The technology is there, but alas it's not available for ever filetype yet.  It would be nice if other operating systems would support filetypes like Amiga does.  It makes it a hell of a lot easier.

This is true, but this is only for docs created within word itself. Opening a deliberately mis-named file in word causes havoc (try mis-naming a small avi/mpeg to see).

In Word 2003 it simply brings up the standard conversion dialog.  It thinks my JPEGs are Vietnamese.
