How did it know?

I just made a fresh install on a drive that has never had an os on it with W8 RP.

When I went to IE9 all of my favourites and my browsing history for 3 weeks were there even though I had not installed them or imported them :??:

It was nice an handy but I'm wondering how W8 got them - are MS storing them somewhere?

I'm betting you almost certainly signed in with a Microsoft account, any yes it does store such settings including your wireless passwords which freaked me out a few weeks ago.
