Microsoft has made a lot of noise of late about the benefits of moving to the “cloud,” but hasn’t really done much in the way of showing users just exactly how to do so. One of the ways is by using Windows Live SkyDrive, which in reality is nothing more than an online storage facility that Microsoft has made available for free to anyone who signs up for a Windows Live account; which is also free – see another post  Windows Live SkyDrive – 500 MB of secure online storage from Microsoft .
