Win8 built SkyDrive cloud
Microsoft has been developing its own cloud services integrated into Windows 8, remove the cloud of hot trends, but also stick to PC position, to prevent competitors storm:
1. against the Chrome OS
Google from last year, has initiated the development Chrome OS, this application is a cloud-based operating system, according to Google's official explanation, the operating system is simple to just Chrome browser, other applications can be implemented on the network - Google Docs goes office software, Gmail, angry birds Chrome version, Google Storage, App Engine, and even cut cloud board, you can end that Although Chrome OS pre-installed in several brands of notebooks, but not in the country knocking on the door of the user, because for Internet users, the network off the cloud can not be used after application, there are still some concerns.
2. With the Apple cloud competition
Apple MobileMe cloud service with iCloud: Steve Jobs announced the first-generation iPhone, built the Apple MobileMe cloud service phone, but did did not cause a higher concern. The release of the iPhone 4, MobileMe Find My iPhone also functions as a reputation (Find My iPhone requires the user to register a MobileMe account).

The SkyDrive always keep a low profile until the team announced the closure of Microsoft's MSN blog site, each user's log and photos can be found on SkyDrive.
Windows 8 will be the introduction of the Metro system in the style of SkyDrive, said SkyDrive version is installed for the user to choose, 25GB of free storage space than iCloud 5GB of free storage to be much more generous, although the Amazon Cloud Store the current cloud services strategy for Microsoft not affected, but Microsoft released Windows 8 with the purpose of cloud services, it has demonstrated the tension and Windows Live users and degree of attention.
Web applications and the local client
Windows 8 interface using the Metro, is accused of a continuation of WP7 style phone system. Not only is fragmented at the beginning of the application interface options, when in the lock screen to see the shadow of WP7. Metro-style interface with a rain-delayed Windows 8 We are amazing, and the user experience will not be lower than Windows 7,
tiffany, well after news that Microsoft will launch for the Win8 compatible with WP7 system software, such as the suffix is. Appx file can be installed in Win8 and WP7.
