Microsoft Max

I came across Microsoft Max recently.......while still in beta and I'm not about to download a beta from Microsoft based on my experience, the UI looks very sweet, particularly for a PC app.....

From what I can tell, its a downloadable app only, and works like an aggregator.....but because its not available on the web, it doesn't look like you can synch or keep track of your feeds while you're on the road. Yet, the UI is clean and better than a lot of the aggregators I've tried to-date. And great clean and beautiful UI DOES matter to some of us.

In addition to the keeping track of news feature, there's also a cool Annotate feature that lets you draw anything on photos and share them without altering the originals.
