Uhh.. Max was never part of the feature list of Vista, it was an add-on
program they were (likely) going to charge for. Also, Monad is still a
real product, and you can download the release candidate today. It's just
going to ship out of cycle with Vista. And also the claim that Vista won't
be shipping with ANY of it's originally promised features is flat out wrong
(sarcasm or not).
