Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:05:49 PM Microsoft: Oh poo vista is horrible and no one is buying!!! What do we do?!!Guy in the Video: I got it!! we make pictures! and we make a cool user interface for them! Microsoft: Yeah! that'll cost too much money and it has no real life purpose! Once again we make a pointless, buggy and unstable program! *round of handshakes* |

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 1:58:10 PM Indeed, amazing, but still: This presentation is more than one year old, Microsoft has bought the technology even longer ago, but still they are not able to present a really functioning version.My guess: It's rather a supporting marketing instrument for Bill Gates' picture library Corbis. |

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 11:15:36 AM "I'm not going to pass judgment because I didn't bother watching it. You know why I didn't bother watching it? Because of the unnecessary Apple hating. How is it even relevant?"your clearly new here. 1. nobody cares if you did or didnt watch it, its not gonna improve anything 2. who says he was hating? he was saying that he was suprised it wasnt made by apple, that doesnt sound like hating to me 3.sieg heil grammar nazi |

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 10:05:25 AM I'm very pleased with what Microsoft has done here. Very neat bit of coding, and the idea, although the idea of compiling pictures (like picture collection programs) or putting together 3D images (like google earth) isn't exactly original, the method of collecting and then compiling all kinds of 2D's to form a 3D render is the pretty hot. I'm sure that computer was running a whole lot of RAM, but he could be right in saying that the amount of processing power necessary was only equal to the size of the display. Good job, Microsoft. Produce it, and expect apple to scramble together some sort of "baby's first toaster / photosynth" to combat it. |

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 6:35:59 PM Oh get over it people. Microsoft is one of the most, if not THE most, succesfull businesses ever. If you can't accept that being in big business means cheating a little you're naive. All success means cheating a little and cutting corners. Maybe paying a few people off. It happens. Get over it! |

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 3:08:25 PM I'm not going to pass judgment because I didn't bother watching it. You know why I didn't bother watching it? Because of the unnecessary Apple hating. How is it even relevant? I guess it shouldn't matter coming from someone who has issues with basic spelling and grammar. Yeah, I'm talking to you, fancylad.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 1:40:24 PM They just linked a bunch of photos ya idiots. This is pointless, its like viewing google image search results. Its just retarded and microsoft is trying to make it look cool. No wonder no other company made it, its usually microsoft that makes this type of crap. And sorry for you if you believe them. |
