More of a heads up for the geeks amongst us.

Shows promise.

I believe this is the beginning of Gates's dream of a "Roaming" desktop. I for one think it is a great idea.

Not my cuppa tea. I wouldn't want a roaming desktop. I don't think this will get used much.

Looks like dropbox but with a bigger limit. I find dropbox extremely useful. Going to give this a whirl. Cheers!

Been using this for awhile. Very nice program. Fast at updating and the web interface is very nice as well.

Is this similar to Apple's Mobile.Me service?

Not really. There's no support for mail or calendars.

As Gigi said above, this is an alternative to DropBox if anything.

Ahh cheers man. Signed up anyway as this does look useful.

Edit: Installed the x64 software :eek:

and goodbye Vista themes. It disabled aero and took about 3 reboots to get the theme working again, even though the service was active. Uninstalled that for now.
