Windows Marketplace has transitioned from an ecommerce site to a reference site. Now customers in the United States of America should use the Microsoft Store USA to acquire a product key for Microsoft Research AutoCollage 2008. Those customers that previously acquired product keys and registered the software shouldn’t be affected., and each product key can be used in up to 5 machines. It is highly recommended that you make a backup copy of your product key, since the digital locker service will remain operational only through the first half of 2009. More instructions are available in the page http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/.

A lot of users have been writing back to our feedback alias with suggestions of features for AutoCollage. Thanks to all those taking their time to do that, and you can be sure that your feedback is being literally "counted".

 

Some users have been writing to our feedback alias with stories about the use of the collages created with the application. AutoCollages have been commonly used as postcards to celebrate the birth of a baby, included in posters for school exhibitions, and entire albums made of collages have been printed to celebrate events on churches or colleges. With the holiday season approaching, AutoCollage will certainly save time to many people in the preparation of holiday cards. Copy to a folder the best pictures from your family during the last year, select that folder in AutoCollage and you will quickly have a custom holiday card!

 

Please continue to send us your stories, and remember that there is a Flickr community where you can share nice collages publicly.
