	Windows bitmap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A 32-bit version with integrated alpha channel has been introduced with Windows XP and is used within its logon and theme system; it has yet to gain wide support in image editing software.
		Yet other formats store as "bitmaps" (as opposed to vector graphics), but use compression or color indexes, and thus are not strictly considered true bitmaps.
		Despite the huge file size, the simplicity of BMP and its widespread familiarity in MS Windows and elsewhere, as well as the fact that this format is well-documented and free of patents, makes it a very common format that image processing programs from many operating systems can read and write.
