This is a really nice service by microsoft where you can sync 5GB of free data across different devices of yours. I synced my home pc (windows 7), office pc (windows xp), macbook pro (mac os x 10.5), macbook pro boot camp (windows vista sp1) with all 7 folders. That way, I can edit the same file from anywhere and the other places are automatically updated without any duplication or other hard ways.
Finally, someone thought that it’s good to have a realistic service like this for people. Good job Microsoft.

I had my backups on an external drive without issues using directly the full backup application in Vista SP1 or SP2. One day, i ran this McAfee cleanup program to remove unwanted files and other things.
Later I realized that I can’t do the full system backup anymore because McAfee affected something. When I searched web later, this is a know issue. So, if you are using McAfee with Vista or Windows 7, don’t use the features other than Virus Scanner or other things. It’s a nasty error and it cost too much of my time.
I started doing some work on Sharepoint and the only way i can get my hands on the code is to do it through my VM slice. When i looked at our Google bai, i figured the following site doing in on Vista. Bingo ! It worked.
