MicroSoft should be able to read .pngs. You can open the file in The 
Gimp and then choose SAVE AS and enter another extension such as .jpg. 
It may ask a couple of questions.  Don't worry about them.  Just give 
any answer you want to then it will convert and save.  Then close The 
Gimp and find the new.jpg file and look at it and then send it to your 
friend.
