Sony IDC & Minolta .MRW File Format Handling

Ahoy!

I'm expecting a Minolta 7D to land in a few days time and assume the  original software CD won't be supplied (I could be wrong).  The  standard Minolta .MRW RAW file software isn't available as a standalone  download from the KM website (only the updates are).


My research suggests that the Sony IDC won't open the .MRW RAW file  format, only the Sony .ARW, though I do have CS5 which will handle the Minolta .MRW  file format, but there are elements of the Sony IDC that I like to use  before transferring to CS5 to finish off.


Can anyone confirm that my information is correct and what's the  consensus of asking Sony's software boffins to release a SR v3.3 version  of IDS to include .MRW file handling?


Thanks in advance, oh and yes, I will check the firmware version  (already downloaded firmware v1.10 files, installation guide and .pdf  user manual), though if it has FFB issues, it'll have to stay like it as  support from Sony has now ceased.
