Well, I checked both submissions against each other, and there was nothing wrong with your bitmap one compared to the png one, but at least we know how to set to png now.
And I too agree that it is lame that the Vista version of Paint defaults to Jpg. Seriously, of all the formats to have it default to, the one that screws up images the best? At least with the highest grade of bmp, we only use up more disk space (which with today's multi-hundred gigabyte hard drives to terabyte sizes hard drives, I think we can afford to "accidentally" save an image that is more than a megabyte or two in size before converting it to something smaller).
