The fastest and free-est solutions are Faststone Image Viewer if you want to do some light editing, cropping etc. or Instant Jpeg From Raw if all you want is the embedded jpeg. If you want to refine the images for final output, there is no substitute for either Capture One or Lightroom, and Photoshop. Though I am playing around a bit with On1 Raw and liking it very much.
Thanks a million Gene.
