That I can appreciate, I have generated a g1.8 profile for my monitor too, just so that I can see though Mac coloured glasses when I get depressed about owning a Windows PC :-) > IIRC 1.8 is the standard for broadcast video (PAL/NTSC/etc), but 2.2 is > the standard for HD video. Feel free to correct me on that.

OK, so on your system I assume that files rendered as sRGB with and without profile look very similar on screen? So like anything it really comes down to knowing what you are doing, the generic colour settings in the Mac OS aren't necessarily optimised for dealing with the majority of graphics sources? Given the lack of colour aware browsers for the Windows platform can only assume that the developers don't consider it a problem, it's a pretty sad situation really.
