Formally announced today...thoughts?

for me i love the concept of everything cloud

Does Microsoft have a cloud service also? I think I recall it is called Azure.

Azure is right. Apple wont allow XP into their cloud.

 

[apj101]

yeah but the apple cloud will just work and work seamlessly.
Azure will be a pain in the ass

 

[Quiltface]

They should call it the Cumulonimbus

For what essentially amounts to web storage it sure is making quite the ruckus.

essentially, and the syncing apps are not exactly ground breaking.But as is typical with apple, they just bring it all together in a seamless integrated package that works right out the box.
Although i guess its not really cloud computing

I don't like the cloud very much. It's nice in theory and all, but in reality I don't want my data (the whole bloody lot of it) stored elsewhere with a shoddy 1500/500 internet connection shared by 8 people.
