the fact that one can make standalone apps with
it(MAX).
Technically they are not true standalones? Its like saying that one can use the FlshMX to create standalone flash movies. In the same way then one can eaily produce a similar 'standalone' with Pd, just make an installer that installs PD along with the patch you want, include a shortcut to the file which which can place itself on the desktop or whatever, and open Pd upon double clicking it. Then you will have a true Max "standalone"!
