Microsoft is jumping on the “online storage” train and it was unofficially announced that their so called Windows Live Folders service is going into public beta. This online storage services provides its users 500 megabytes of space that they can use to store or share data online. Files can be uploaded with Internet Explorer and Firefox which surprises me a little bit. Well, the service was first mentioned to go public at the Liveside blog creating a big run for an account which had the result that the Live Folders website was not available anymore.
