Microsoft Photosynth "not cool enough" for my Mac

It seems that the copywriters (html developers?) over at Microsoft’s Photosynth project have a sense of humor about them.

When trying to install Microsoft Photosynth, I was greeted with this snarky and self-deprecating message on my Macbook Pro.

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.

Is big bad MSFT striking back at Apple by using their own tactics? Can the microserfs out-hipster Apple?

Story developing…

    Hey Seth, I don’t know that they are trying to out-hip Apple. I know a few MS devs, although not any on the photosynth team. The devs are generally (now) a lot cooler than the MS Corp entity. I’m kind of surprised that Business let that out the door, but maybe they’ve gotten some good people too.
