SkyDrive Beta Today

The latest Windows Live service just went into Beta this morning - SkyDrive. SkyDrive is a hard drive in the cloud that lets you save personal files out on the web. Along with private folders that only you can access, it also lets you create shared folders that can be viewed by other registered users or completely public for everyone to see. This will be a really cool service for backing up some data files that you need to share across machines. And, it could definitely be the basis for some interesting content sharing applications between a web of friends. It will be interesting to see this Beta and the tools that come out around it.
