I was reading the news this morning and saw that Google announced they were now going to sell people cloud storage, targeting folks with large media collections.

Not a bad idea, but why pay Google when you can get storage for free?  Last week Microsoft announced the beta of Windows Live SkyDrive. You can get 500 meg, and it's compat with IE and FireFox on both Windows and Mac. But it's better than just storage, because it allows you to place your files in folders and then have the option of sharing those folders with everyone (making them public) or just a select group of friends.

Full details are here.
