Paul Thurrott described the creation of Microsoft Max:
In late June, I discovered that Windows user experience guru Hillel Cooperman was now involved in a skunkworks project at Microsoft codenamed Project M. This small group, which reported directly to Chris Jones, the Microsoft VP in charge of the Windows Shell, was working on mysterious Longhorn shell improvements that would appear in Beta 2 or beyond. To my knowledge, this work never materialized, and Project M morphed into Project Max, a bizarre application for sharing photos.[1]
