I don't use those either; so I won't be able to help there.

While I do not use any MS services I can look into getting this fix 
backported once we have released. I am unavailable until August 1st

Not really using those either.
I'll try to get the new glycin (1.2.2) + rust-zune-jpeg into -pu, too, 
since that fixes a few JPEG issues with loupe.
