Can RAW be edited in popular photo software like MS Photo Editor?
No, usually RAW needs to be converted to JPG before you can do anything with it.
Yikes, sorry, gave you wrong info. Usually every manufacturer's RAW implementation is proprietary, so you'd need to process it with their software BEFORE converting to JPG (or another format). For some RAW formats (don't know about Canon) Photoshop plug-ins are available. The advantage of shooting in RAW is that you have complete control over things like sharpening, white balance, saturation, etc., which if you shoot in JPG are done in camera.
