Microsoft Max Technology

Marketing says:
"Microsoft Max is built on the next-generation WinFX Runtime
Components technology that will drive the development of Windows
Vista applications."
Now, what is Max, exactly?
Microsoft Max is the codename for a technology in development by
Microsoft. A beta version of Max which can be downloaded from the
Microsoft website, is currently an application for creating virtual
photo albums and distributing them online in a peer-to-peer fashion.
It has been said by Microsoft that Max runs on the WinFX Runtime
Components used on the yet-to-be-released Windows Vista (formerly
codenamed Longhorn), or on the English version of Windows XP Service
Pack 2.
Features of the Max technology demo include the ability to annotate
photos and arrange them in custom layouts and slideshows. There is
also a 3D Mantle View feature.
The longer-term goal of Max is to facilitate peer-to-peer
communications of many kinds of files, not just photos.
No decisions have been made as to how the Max technology will be
brought to market as actual products.
NB - This is NOT for the
novice! But if you want to look at what technology could be coming
to you soon from Microsoft, then MAX is going to be a very
interesting peek :-)
There is a video of an Interview with the guys who created the
technology:
