Microsoft Photo Info is a new software add-in for Microsoft Windows that allows photographers to add, change and delete common "metadata" properties for digital photographs from inside Windows Explorer. It also provides enhanced "hover tips" and additional sort properties for digital photographs in Explorer (in Details view).

Careful -- it has serious problems.

Metadata mangling in Windows Vista

Interesting, but I guess it's to be expected since it's Microsoft.

The key though, is backup - anyone who edits their files (Photoshop or this MS extension) without doing a backup should not complain too loud when they destroy their work.

p.s. The link about Vista - I use XP - I would not touch Vista with a 10 foot pole - at least not until they are at SP3 or 4.
