Well, we all know that Microsoft will:
a. pull this off (throw enough money at it and you can do anything)
b. screw it up big time for the first 5+ versions
c. never properly secure it
But, all that said, it is a good idea. And yes, Unix has done this type of thing for years, but is anyone interested in putting together a open source project based on XML very similar in nature to what M$ is attempting to do?? Something that anyone on any platform with a decent browser could access?? I think it would be great if we could beat M$ to the punch and produce something faster and better and more secure..although it would be that by default!! I personnally don't think I would store EVERYTHING on a central server like this, but there are MANY things I would love to be able to get my hands on from anywhere. I HATE not having a central location for bookmarks for one thing!! Any takers?? Anyone interested in doing it??
I don't know if this is appropriate "slashdot" ettiquete to put my email address, but you can reach me at bmurphy@maximumhost.net if you are interested.
