We got a bad news to Microsoft’s rival Apple; the Redmond Based Software company is on the move its readying a massive counterattack. It’s preparing to roll out the mobile version of Windows Live Mesh. It’s a terrible technology it designed to takes on Apple’s MobileMe. This could be Apple’s MobileMe biggest threat. The name is SkyBox ( Image courtesy of TechTree ) an automatic backup and restore system, its works the same as Windows Live Mesh. It syncs pictures, calendar, contacts, SMS and emails into the cloud; yes it’s similar to Apple’s MobileMe. I hope Steve Jobs know this MobileMe got a lot of problem at launch. SkyBox provides a better data management. It also provides easy communication and sharing with others. The SkyBox service would be a tough competitor to Apple’s MobileMe and its works similar to MobileMe the only difference is Microsoft is set to offer SkyBox to non Windows Mobile devices. The SkyBox offering represent Microsoft’s latest efforts to move towards the cloud, a second step to a major Windows Azure (Microsoft Cloud based OS) announcement last October. Microsoft is betting hard on the cloud business for its future growth, SkyBox would give Microsoft a major beach head in the cloud wars. Sphere: Related Content
