btw, google mail is still beta.

also, i dont see any harm in being quick follower till the time you are no. 1. Microsoft can be follower and can be innovater at the same time. dont forget Microsoft Surface.

what is the point in writing about this when you aren’t adding anything to the story, speculate on something that is obviously not correct and just don’t know what you are talking about?

Ahh, and how long before we call this vaporware? Along with Google’s offering? Pahh…I want it now.

>How obnoxious can a billion dollar public company get with naming it’s products?

Agreed! Another way is to put an “i” in front of everything.

How long has that damn Google GDrive been rumored for? At least since March of last year, and it still hasn’t materialized.

At least the Microsoft product doesn’t seem to be total vaporware.

All I could think about when looking at that 2nd Powerpoint slide, was if Microsoft was planning on entering the pattern repeating game market that Simon has had a stranglehold on for decades.

I am surprised by how many people are impressed with the domain name.

This is Microsoft! They could buy almost any domain name in the world. Is it really that impressive?

Looks a lot like iGoogle to me. I am really hoping that one of these days Microsoft will come out with something that is obviously new.

I listened to a podcast of an interview with Steve Balmer at the Churchill Club today. That guy is a nut ball. All I hear them saying is catchup tactics.

Something new guys!

Really interesting.

The Live.com domain is getting nice traction, when looking at the Alexa ratings… (Rank: 5!).

How is it “almost certainly” a reference to SkyDrive/LiveDrive? How about it being a reference to his Space, as in MSN Spaces or Windows Live Spaces or whatever they are calling it today? Seems like a heck of a stretch to call it “almost certainly”, maybe instead “slim but certainly not likely as it shares a name with an EXISTING live service”.

Mike, “Jonathan’s Space” refers to Windows Live Spaces, not Skydrive. This is referred to in the picture as “Folders” the current beta name.

Note that the rename to Skydrive is not official yet, however Folders is confirmed as not being the final name. (see the statement MS gave me here – http://www.live...blogs/3869.aspx)

Mike, I love that second slide. Windows Live Spaces, Windows Live Messages, Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live OneCare…

How obnoxious can a billion dollar public company get with naming it’s products?
