Profile Chooser is designed for our profiles, yes. It does work with  
some others, but not all, as not all use the same tags and methods. I  
think you would need to download the MS color management utility to  
switch, if you are switching to profiles from other sources. Thats an  
XP tool, it does not work with Vista. The problem with switching  
profiles at the OS level (on Windows) is that it changes the profile,  
but does not change the LUTs. I don't really see a need for third  
party profiles, except for experimentation; so for practical purposes,  
Profile Chooser does the trick.
