Roy are you talking about losing the file linking as a result of using smart filters?

I don't think Roy was talking of Windows opening them, but 'reading' as in recognising them as a file - in such a way that they could not be copied.. much as corrupted files sometimes cannot be copied.

I would never expect windows to read those files. They have to be saved
correctly to be compatible with the OS. Someone might have not have had
comparability on when they saved them. If you don't then PS doesn't save
a full size proxy which is what the OS reads. Ever had a file that you
can see but then can't open? Its because the OS can read the proxy and
not the rest of the file. There are a zillion file formats that no os
will read. These are called intermediate formats and are not designed to
be read by the OS. Painter RIFF files aren't readable by anything other
then painter at all. Archive and delivery formats like EXR, DPX, DCS eps,
PDF and many others have very stricked and open standards.

When I started using Photoshop CS3 I noticed that Windows XP couldn't
read the psd files that had smart filter layers in them and thus Windows
could not copy them when I was doing back up. I stopped using smart filter
layers. The problem will really come to the fore when psd becomes
completely incompatible with the Windows OS'

"For a generation, institutions from the Museum of Modern Art in New York
to the Pompidou Center in Paris have been collecting digital art. But in
trying to restore the Davis work, which was finally debugged and reposted
at the end of May, the Whitney encountered what many exhibitors, collectors
and artists are also discovering: the 1s and 0s of digital art degrade far
more rapidly than traditional visual art does, and the demands of upkeep
are much higher. Nor is the way forward clear. In a message dated 6/11/2013
