SkyDrive with Windows 8

 Not so long ago, I saw someone's article somewhere saying why Microsoft will be successful with all those thing they start later than their competitors.

Mobile OS is much later than Apple or Google, they didn't have light enough OS for netbooks so they used Windows XP, they don't have cloud network thingy available yet (at least not like what people expect), and so on and on. But the thing is, because they're bringing these things out later than others, it is very unlikely that Microsoft will make the same mistakes others have made.

A few days ago, MS announced the SkyDrive service for Windows 8. This is their cloud services and it allows maximum file size of 2GB. They didn't mention the max storage space but currently it's 25GB. The announcement came not long after Apple stated their next OS would have deep integration of iCloud, so it'll be interesting to see who'll perform better in this service.


This video is their demo, and it looks pretty smooth.
