Knacki99 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Microsoft Codename Max is not like any other product. That's because it's not a product - it's your opportunity to try an exciting new user experience from Microsoft. Today Max lets you make lists of your photos and turn them into beautiful slide shows to share with your family and friends. Tomorrow...who knows? http://fileismissing.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphonic Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hrm, time to try it out. Still looking for something to replace Picasa. Wonder what this one is all about. Didn't realise there would be WinFX for XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphonic Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 OK I've got some screenshots of this app if anyone can host them somewhere? Imageshack for now: Someone want to share a list with me so we can see what this app is actually meant for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted September 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2005 Doesn't run on x64. Way to design for the future MS! 586520491[/snapback] I used to be frustrated like you being on x64 then I switched back cause it was never worth the switch and so much stuff isn't supported correctly.

AJerman Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) I guess the words "Codename" and "Beta" and "System requirements" aren't clear enough. 586520529[/snapback] I guess the words "design for the future" aren't clear either. Being an actual developer myself, I more than understand what a beta is, and I also know that there is no reason not to do concurrent development of an x64 build. I used to be frustrated like you being on x64 then I switched back cause it was never worth the switch and so much stuff isn't supported correctly. 586520540[/snapback] True, and I'm not really frustrated. It's rare that something doesn't work on x64, most programs will run still, and I built a system that will have no problems with drivers, so I'm fine. The only reason I even say anything was because of what they were saying in the keynote today about moving up to new platforms such as x64, and yet some of these key technological showcases that they are producing to show off what they are working on don't even work on the future of the computing which they tout. In the end, I really don't care. It's not much of a program, just something to show off WinFX. I can write something similar myself to do that :yes: Edited September 13, 2005 by Betaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riz360 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Judging just on the screenshots alone, I think I prefer Picassa tbh. Microsoft are really making an effort with the eye-candy are'nt they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdezjose Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 If you want to install Max on non Windows XP English machines you can do the following: 1. Open Regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language 3. Change the values of the keys "Default" and "InstallLanguage" to 0409 4. Reboot 5. Install Microsoft MAX 6. Undo the modifications you did in step 3 7. Reboot Enjoy this awesome program! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
