I've just noticed that Canon has recently updated their software (Digital Photo Professional 4.0.0 for Windows and EOS Utility 3.0.0 for Windows). Having played with the new version of DPP, I will say that it is much more useful than it ever used to be. Pop along to Canon's website for your country and see if you can grab the new versions.
For those who can't find it, be aware that DPP 4.0 is only compatible with current full-frame Canon DSLRs -- if you don't have a EOS-1D X, EOS-1D C, EOS 5D Mark III or EOS 6D, you should stick with DPP 3.4.1.
@michaelelliott DPP 4.0 is available for recent 64-bit Windows and Mac operating systems, but will not open raw files from any cameras not listed above, such as your 5D Mark II.
This is not being particularly well-received by customers who have multiple cameras, some in the list and some not, as they need to keep both versions of DPP installed and use the appropriate one for the appropriate files, so we will have to wait and see if Canon re-think this decision. Certainly I wouldn't expect the new advanced features to be available for older cameras though, at best we'll see a version of DPP that activates the new features for files from current cameras, and falls back to the existing DPP 3.4.1 behaviour for files from older cameras.
Realistically, though, if you are using a recent version of Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, or another good commercial raw file processor, in most cases you'll probably not miss the new features in DPP 4.0.
