Microsoft has released the beta for a spiffy looking RSS Aggregator codenamed Max. The Redmond folks have been doing some tech community-friendly things recently with the Windows Live Writer Beta blogging tool and now this. PC users can download Max Beta 1 here. Let me know what you think.

Paul, thanks for the heads up. Just another good reason to keep a few Windows boxes around.
Review of Microsoft’s Max

Rather than retype my thoughts, I’ll point you towards a post I wrote on Max. It also includes (an admittedly poor quality) video of the program.

It is an unusual pairing, photos and rss. It doesn’t excel at either
The RSS side of things is nice, it is the best looking piece of RSS software I have used but the moment you are tracking more than 10 feeds it becomes clunky to move around. You can add, move and remove feeds but no folders, also no opml which is a nuisance.
The photo sharing stuff is okay. No editing but the organisation side is pretty nice – will spend a bit more time with it
Basically it looks spiffy but it really needs to be two apps – both of which require a little tweaking. I won’t be switching over to it anytime soon
