Windows 8 to use cloud to keep user settings across PCs - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "Microsoft is enhancing its Windows Live service to allow users of its upcoming flagship operating system Windows 8 keep and sync their settings across multiple personal computers (PCs).

The software giant also hinted at a seamless integration between Windows and SkyDrive, its online storage site that allows up to 25 gigabytes of storage space for users.

“One of the great things about web-based services is that you can log in from any browser and start right where you left off. The service keeps track of your settings and profile, and you can get started just by typing in your ID. With Windows 8, you now have that same ability for the important parts of your Windows experience, if you choose to. You can sign in to a Windows 8 PC with your Windows Live ID, and then it gets your profile, application settings, and other important information right from the cloud," Windows Live engineering vice president Chris Jones said in a blog post."
