Hi Les, the Apple is something from Apple, a Live or Windows ID is from
Microsoft. So, not the same at all. If you've ever used hotmail or msn
messenger, then you already have a Windows Live id.

Mark, thanks for this info. Two questions. Are you saying that iCloud will no
longer work after June 30 for backup purposes? Secondly, you mentioned needing
a Windows ID? Won't our current ID for the App Store work? Just a little
confused.

Hello Everyone,
I am cross posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing
lists.
With the end of iDisk, Apple's cloud storage system that came into being
during the Mobile Me era, slated for June 30, 2012, I've been searching for
another cloud storage system that works equally well with iOS devices, Macs,
and Windows PCs.
I am delighted to report that Microsoft's SkyDrive is now completely
VoiceOver accessible and allows access to the SkyDrive directly from Finder
in OS X and from Explorer in Windows 7. The iOS app is VoiceOver
accessible, simple, and easy to use.
Microsoft SkyDrive offers 7GB of free storage space, 2GB more than does
Apple's iCloud.
To those who may not know, iCloud, in its current implementation, does not
allow for non-iWork documents and/or non Apple file syncing nor does it
allow for direct access in Windows Explorer. In short, iCloud, unlike
iDisk, is not meant to be used as a remote hard drive to which you may place
any kind of file.
To get SkyDrive on the computer platform of your choice, you will need to
download a free Microsoft utility that simply configures your chosen system
to see SkyDrive; it does not add any overhead to your device unlike other
free cloud storage options.
To get started, visit the app store on your iOS device and type in SkyDrive
or, from your favorite web browser in the OS of your choice, go to
http://skydrive.live.com
If you don't already have a Windows ID, you will need to create one.
Enjoy,
Mark
