Is SkyDrive Becoming Microsoft’s “Cloud OS” Plus?

Is the below picture Windows 8 Operating System Start Screen?

The answer is: No, this is the Skydrive “Start” menu! With the latest iteration of Skydrive, Skydrive has become even closer to a complete “Window Web OS”. What are some of the components of this “Web OS”?

• Very simple “Start” menu
• File Storage (Hardrive)
• Office Apps
• Photo viewer
• Email (not only the client but the service as well!)
• Presence & Instant Messaging (via Live Messenger web client)
• This web OS easily sync’s with WindowsPhone, iPhone, now Android

What are some things currently lacking?

• Configurable and complete Start menu
• Ability to install additional apps
• Printer management?

To access the “Start” menu, Open Outlook.com or Skydrive web interface, Goto email then:

Make no mistake, the components that are already in Skydrive are a large part of what “light OS” users do.
