Syphonic Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sounds like a copy of Google's Picasa... 586520848[/snapback] I'll probably get flamed for this, but yeah, basically it is. Picasa is also far suprior. I'm not pro-Google and anti-MS, but this app is a waste of time. Picasa is more powerful, more features and has integration with hello perfectly done already. I think the only reason MS released this is to show that they do care about the fact that google are creating some great apps for Windows, and they need to show they are competing.

Sn1p3t Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Doesn't run on x64. Way to design for the future MS! 586520491[/snapback] Actually, this program will, in the future, run on any arcitecture. What matters is you have the WinFX runtime environment installed. Since WinFX (the environment) is still in beta, they dont have a build for x64 processors yet. This will change. I'll probably get flamed for this, but yeah, basically it is.

I think the only reason MS released this is to show that they do care about the fact that google are creating some great apps for Windows, and they need to show they are competing. 586521356[/snapback] Actually, I think a lot of people are missing the point. For non-developers, this program may look like a "competing" product for Picasa. For developers who have looked at Avalon, this is a way of showing how incredibly easy it is to make an interface such as Microsoft Max, complete with all the animations, in minimal time. If you have ever taken a look at the Avalon programming model, you'd know it's a huge step in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebbocher Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) 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 586520740[/snapback] So long.. so good. Restart taken. It installed 100%. But I can't find the program anywhere. Where is it located on HDD ? (Sorry for the bad english, i am a german guy). Edited September 13, 2005 by hebbocher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreuger Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 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.gif Really now? I'd like to see you port that to Linux then or make a clone for linux as it looks interesting to try out but Im not installing Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0| Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 works pretty smooth on a 5600 Ultra. I think you need a decent card to run this app tho... And it's not a replacement for Picasa, which does managment of your photos, it's more of a one off slideshow maker (too bad you can't see the slideshows unless you have MAX, that sucks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry for the bad english, i am a german guy). 586521552[/snapback] I've solved the "problem". It only installed the "WinFX"-components at the first execution of the setup. After installing and reboot you/i must execute the setup.exe once again! .. Now i see the "Microsoft Max" link in the startmenu and the program starts and "works" - but only the Thumbnail-Slider will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eminem213486 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 (edited) is this phodeo? i started playing with max since this morning after it was released. and omg im still messing with it. organzing my pictures in the lists (porn haha, cars, family, dog, pics from phone, etc.) its amazing how the presentation layer works. i also did a list of ALL pictures, so it ran just fine with 2500 pics, it did take a while to load all thumbs though. but after that it was all well, AMAzing piece of application. i cant wait for those phodeo effects and the HALOS effect it seems this app will bring. halos - http://pdc.xbetas.com/pictures/IMG_0472.jpg phodeo (photo triage)- http://www.clubic.com/photo/00109571.jpg channel 9 vid phodeo- http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=14349#14349 channel 9 vid halos - http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=62621 wow lots of names floating around: photo triage, nextmedia, phodeo, media browser, halos? project m? btw, we can see that this app is in no way done, where is teh fullscreen view? the keyboard keys dont work in mantle mode or sometimes not at all, the mantle view still has some jaggies which will prob change with antialiasing. it seems there are alot more "views" coming too. hopefully.

eminem213486 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 who is we? lol list sent also, i noticed a big bug with max im guessing it didnt save my list right when i exited the program last time because i took alot of pictures out and i went n opend back up my list and the pics i took out were back. but they came back duplicated. wtf... so i had twice the amount i had removed before. haha. there should be a hard save button somewhere im guessing.
