Argh, Microsoft has bought p2p synchronization company FolderShare, a service that I rely on heavily. Note to BillG: If you screw FolderShare’s products/services/pricing up — including unnecessarily folding it into some other Live-related service that I do not want — I will very shortly be on your doorstep to loudly explain the error of your ways. I kid thee not.

I always prefer it when the big boys buy these smaller companies who have useful products. It’s usually involves a price drop if applicable (they get larger volume) and an improvement in quality (small companies suck at quality & pen tests). I’m quite pleased about this. I didn’t use FS before because the UI was so confusing but I will probably look at it now as long as MS cleans it up.
Million bucks they add free file storage/backup. This would be some major hotness.
