Want to connect everything to the Cloud?

Here’s a great post by Steve Sinofsky on “Connecting your apps, files, PCs and devices to the cloud with SkyDrive and Windows 8.”

“ …offering a cloud service for each and every Windows 8 customer and all their PCs (and phones), should you choose to use it. In previous posts (Signing in to Windows 8 with a Windows Live ID and Extending "Windows 8" apps to the cloud with SkyDrive) we kicked off talking about cloud services, how you can automatically roam your settings to multiple PCs, and how applications can take advantage of this roaming. In this post, we will show you three cool  things that you will get by choosing to sign up and use SkyDrive with Windows 8.”

Highlights:

• SkyDrive Metro style app on Windows 8

• SkyDrive files integrated into Windows Explorer on the desktop

• The ability to fetch remote files through SkyDrive.com
