Just in time for the widely anticipated Google Drive, expected to launch today, Microsoft has released a barrage of improvements to SkyDrive.
The new "preview" apps for Vista, Windows 7, and the Windows 8 Legacy Desktop integrate SkyDrive into Windows Explorer. Install the app and a new SkyDrive folder appears in your user folder. Drag files to the folder and they're synced across your other devices and the cloud, almost exactly like Dropbox. In every respect, files in the SkyDrive folder, inside Windows Explorer, behave just like files anywhere else on your computer or network. Microsoft also has clients for Mac OS X Lion, iOS (including the retina display), and Windows Phone, and they behave similarly. InfoWorld
