Ive been using this Tech Preview for a few months just to see what it was like. Yesterday Microsoft allowed for syncing between PCs, Windows Mobile phones, and Macs.

Setting it up was easy and i find it extremely useful. I can select which folders on my phone to sync, then i can select them to sync on my computer. Any changes I make in either instance will take effect on other end. I have my desktop setup to constantly be syncing or checking for changes, and my phone to check and sync every 2 hours for battery reasons.

The software isnt finished yet and has some gaping holes, but even right now I set it up to sync all of my Documents on my phone, so anything new i make or any pictures i take will automatically be synced to my desktop and on the cloud storage.

Anyone else get a chance to try this?

Computers are slowly but surely turning into interactive television.  At least Microsoft will give us the option to keep our files on our computer, though.

This syncing stuff is cool and convenient to be sure, but I'm pretty skeptical of the cloud system.
