Windows 8 to Revolutionize the Cloud with its New Skydrive Features

Posted: 21 Feb 2012 07:19 PM PST

In our relentless pursuit of bringing to you the latest updates of the Windows 8 development, today we've uncovered a very interesting update about the next-generation Windows OS. One of the updates that we got is the Metro app which, according to Microsoft, will be made available to any Metro application via the file picker of the OS. Microsoft hopes to turn the tables around by synchronizing the Metro app and its web versions. Since the Metro app is developed by using JavaScript, HTML and CSS web technologies on WinRT, making it OS-wide is very possible.

Another splendid feature that we find very interesting is Skydrive, Microsoft's own version of Dropbox which is expected to rise above its underdog status this year. Microsoft plans to offer a Skydrive cloud space automatically to any application that is capable of running documents, images and photos. The Skydrive cloud space will also be made available as a Sharing contract for its users via the new Charms bar. Pretty cool huh? But perhaps the biggest and the most exciting thing about Skydrive in Windows 8 is its capability to individually synchronize files straight from your desktop. Yes, you heard that right.

Few days ago I was socked to know that somebody has managed to hack into my "Find My iPhone" Apple account and remotely locked my phone using a new passcode (since I was not using one), sadly the old hacks to reset the forgotten iPhone passcode did not work as Apple patched the security hole in newer iOS 5 builds.
