PhotoSynth released as a Worldwide "Software + Services" Download

clip_image002Photosynth, which was initially released as a Microsoft Live Labs Technology Preview, is being released as a new free service, to become part of MSN.  The new product, available at www.photosynth.net, combines a 20GB online storage and presentation piece, an add-in to Internet Explorer or FireFox, and a downloadable 8mb installation to create one of the first true "Software + Services" offerings coming out of Ray Ozzie's Microsoft Live Labs.

I strongly encourage you to sign up and play with PhotoSynth. It is available immediately worldwide, for free, but in English only at this time.  There are some computer restrictions:

­ A Web browser (Windows Internet Explorer 7 is recommended; Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2 and 3 also are supported, but not all features have been tested in all browsers); a small, 7MB plug-in available free at https://www.Photosynth.net; a broadband connection; and the Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista operating system.
