I decided to try out
Microsoft Max today, so I downloaded it...ran
setup...rebooted...ran the app...and got this cute little message that as a
developer I can totally appreciate. :-)
This is the message you get when Max does something wrong and we don't have
an explanation. We thought you'd prefer an honest answer instead of "Unknown
error." Please start Max again. And hopefully we'll fix this problem in the
next update.

Although I am kinda bumbed out that I don't get to play around with the
software. :-(
