Hi all,

How doesn't know it yet: "Photosynth" is a project of the "Microsoft Live Labs", where you can upload your pictures which Photosynth then tries to combine to a big one. If that works well enough, you're then able to click through the single parts of the big image to get a three-dimensional impression.

Some days ago I downloaded the required plugin, installed it and uploaded some pictures from a wedding party. Everything worked fine, but as I just wanted to show the result to my girlfriend, I got the following message:

"Unfortunately, we're not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows. Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site."

Ok - beside the fact that I already installed and ran that plugin ... how the hell do they get the idea I could be a MAC user? Ok - if I'd be using Firefox or Opera - I could take this as a joke ... but I used a MS-IE7! I hope they'll fix it these days, because I really appreciated that cool 3D-view.
