Microsoft Max Gets Put In The Trash

November 2nd, 2006

Microsoft Max Trash Microsoft must have decided to do some house cleaning today because they gave Microsoft Max the boot. I covered the last Beta release of Microsoft Max back in September when it started to show some signs of potential. Sure it wasn’t the most feature rich application but they had just added RSS capabilities and it had an interface that the less computer-savvy people would love.

It actually had a smart concept behind it with the photo manager. It would let you share photos with other people and draw on them wherever you wanted. I never had a chance to use this because it wasn’t Vista compatible, but it could have been a useful tool for collaboration purposes. If someone sends you a design you could quickly mark it up and send it back to them without much effort. Unfortunately Microsoft never really tried to publicize the software so few people even knew that it existed.

So I guess we can officially put Microsoft Max in the trash.

    Should have used a recycle bin istead of a trash can.

    I downloaded it and tried it and it was nothing special. I’m glad they got rid of it. Nobody ever heard of it, and it’s good nobody ever will. Photo manager/RSS Feed Reader don’t make a good combo. That’s like the 2 most random things to put into one app.

    The idea itself was recycled in the first place. Trash is the only way down.

    I also gave Microsoft Max a try, and ended up uninstalling it shortly after. As it was, it had no chance in getting me to switch my RSS or photo sharing.

    Good move by Microsoft. I can’t believe I just said that. :lol:

    Good point. Recyle Bin would have more humours as Microsoft once the one that introduced us to it with Windows (vs the trash can on the (older) MAC OS).

    I thought about doing a Recycle Bin when I put the image together, but I couldn’t find a good one when searching for images. ;)
