I'm not sure whether this is the correct place to ask the question,
but can anybody clarify which of these statements in MSDN is correct:

"WIA does not support cameras in Windows Vista or later. For those
versions of Windows, use the Windows Portable Device (WPD) API":
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms630381(VS.85).aspx

"The existing Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) and Windows Media Device
Manager (WMDM) APIs in Windows will continue to be supported and
compatibility with WPD will be provided by compatibility layers":
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd389004(VS.85).aspx

Superficially these seem contradictory.
