I am not sure what has led you to this conclusion. I opened up the Color Management item in the Vista Control panel and saw that while perceptual was the default rendering other rendering intents were available options.


Options being listed, and differing intents actually being used are not necessarily the same thing. Printing conversions typically offer differing intents, other conversions often do not. The default intent (which is seldom actually perceptual) is often put in the perceptual slot, and used for all conversions if the conversion is an XYZ based conversion, instead of a Lab based one, in other words for source profiles, instead of printer profiles.

The Vista color control panel looks great, its a bit more difficult to determine what it actually does...
