Microsoft Releases Photosynth 247

Posted by kdawson on Friday August 22, 2008 @11:43AM from the look-at-me-i'm-flying dept.

Spy Hunter writes "Photosynth has graduated from a 'tech preview' to a complete service. Now you can upload your own photos and have them automatically transformed into a 'synth': a 3D fly-through reconstruction of your home, your vacation, or anything else you can take pictures of. Learn more about Photosynth at the official blog, see what Walt Mossberg has to say about it, or just go try it out right now." According to Mossberg, Photosynth works on PCs using IE or Firefox, but not yet on Macs. We've been discussing Photosynth since its introduction.

"Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site."
They couldn't even be bothered to work out that i was running Linux....
**sigh**
Well, I s'pose Ubuntu will have a ways to go before it's as cool as Apple!

From the site: Only Windows XP (SP2 or SP3) and Windows Vista are supported at this time.
No Linux support? In this day and age? Bah.

Wow I skimmed past the Mac part. I'm browsing to it with Ubuntu. They're not even cool enough to stroke me off right.

Maybe if Ubuntu grows it's hair out and combs it over it's eyes, gets some tight clothes, stupid sleeve tattoos, starts worshiping Coheed and Cambria and embraces all things Emo they will be at least on the same playing field as Apple.

Who cares if it runs on Linux. Here is the REAL question we want answered: Does it work on porn?

From the sounds of it, this might be the next MS killer app.

Do you not know people with moms? People's moms (never "people" themselves) love scrapbooking.

I have no idea who "Coheed and Cambria" are. Obviously, I'm not nearly cool enough to own a Mac.
