Posted on Thursday, Aug 24 2006 @ 14:02 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Microosft confirmed some info about its upcoming Live Drive service which will offer free online storage that can be mapped directly from PCs running Windows Vista.

Speaking at a blogger's breakfast prior to the opening of Tech Ed in Sydney, Microsoft Australia technical specialist John Hodgson said that the basic Live Drive was likely to include around 2G of storage for free. Additional storage capacity would be available for purchase, though pricing schemes and final release dates haven't been announced.

While the service has been rumoured in the blogosphere, to date Microsoft has been cagey about confirming those plans officially.
