Although I am sceptical as to Windows OS announcements, this seems strangely WinFS-like:

“All Together Now”

WinFS is a unified storage system. It takes the concept of file formats and moves them to the filesystem level. That means all applications can access the information. Instead of having a contact stored in Windows Mail, and then one in some other format for another application, you can unify them in to one WinFS contact object – and all apps can access it because the concept of a file format doesn’t exist as high up as the application level.

see: http://blogs.msdn.com/winfs/archive/2005/10/24/484380.aspx

“Announcing a new way to share, protect, and store what matters most”

Well yea, your personal data is what matters most to you. Online storage isn’t new, but WinFS on the client side certainly is.

TBH, it’s just the “all together now” catchphrase that throws me. Microsoft love to give these things subtle meanings, and a unified store is the only alternate meaning. But on the other hand, announcing client stuff at the CES isn’t typical for Microsoft. Especially this soon after Vista RTM.

Live drive would be a nice addition to Live service. But it has to be made restriction free like what youtube did. Thats what is gonna make people use it everywhere.

Live Drive? sounds like a re-branded My Web Documents.

try this trick:
point your browser to the following URL (slightly modified of course):
http://groups.msn.com/youraddress@hotmailormsn.com (doesn’t seem to work in FF2.0 on Tiger).

[...] This has got some bloggers and some hopeful’s rather confused. A few people have asked me “what does this mean?” and I’m here to explain. Kip from LiveSide wrote this, Long Zheng from istartedsomething.com wrote this (with some interesting theories), Robert McLaws from Windows-Now wrote this, and good ol’ Josh from Windows Connected wrote this. Unfortunately, rumours on the Internet are just as bad as the rumours about the most popular girl in school making out with someone behind the bikesheds after school… Let’s clear this up shall we?
