Microsoft Max or Microsoft Codename Max is a slideshow application demoed at PDC 2005 and later made available to the public. Version 1.0.50831.3 is available at the BetaArchive FTP.[1] On 2 November 2006,[2] Max was discontinued after a beta.[3]
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.[4]
Lost version
An updated version of Microsoft Max allowed reading news through RSS.[5] This version is not available on the BetaArchive FTP. The download link from here was not archived at the Wayback Machine.
