He hasn't upgraded anything for 9 years!!!
Heaven knows what he'll do if he gets a new camera!
By the way wasn't there supposed to be a press release today about the new model?:

It's because they don't want to pay MS for an OS, which probably would be unsuitable anyway. Most external drives inc. domestic HD video recorders use Linux and the file systems vary. The HD's are often different to give faster access.

Good old Windows SE
Sounds stupid but it was solid and reliable until Micrososft messed it up, I got a virus from their '98 server when XP was released!
I feel Pentax will keep the camera side separate as it won't benefit them to let another party develop a system for them. :
When the K7d, yes the new camera has a name (sort of!), appears all will become clear.

It must be formatted as FAT32, and not with Windows format utility.
I suppose it's so they can be used on MACs as well.
As for old drives, my first was a 20mb unit on an expansion card for my old Amstrad...

Remember also that Pentax and Microsoft were cosying up to each other last summer, so if HD Video is part of the specification we might see a Pentax badged version of Movie Maker or a new Raw Editor as part of the software suite.
It would mean that big M do software for Pentax, but would that be 'IN' camera or just for the PCs. We could put up with using 3rd party editing suites, heck we already do, most of us use Photoshop in some way or other and remember how hard the earlier versions could be to operate!

ALL OF THIS ASSUMES YOUR SENSOR IS SET SQUARE (OOPS CAPS LOCK:blush
I'm fairly certain mine is off.
But check the prices if you order one, they vary from model to model in the listing.
