The compression ratio is irrelevant if the picture is distorted:

"Still, the image in the Microsoft format was somewhat distorted because of the high compression level."

But if picture quality doesn't matter then I can compress *any* image down to a single byte. And I don't need another proprietary format to do it, either ;-).
