SkyDrive- Competitor to upcoming G-drive

Microsoft always wants to occupy the market before it's competitors do. This is the reason behind the huge success of Microsoft. It plans the TTM (Time to Market) so precisely that it will always be ahead of others. The latest news among the netizens is SkyDrive.

I have heard so many people talking about Google's G-drive concept which is appreciated world wide. But here comes a big surprise from Microsoft. Today when i opened my hotmail account i saw an ad displaying a text saying 25GB with an icon looking more similar like a USB drive. I wanted to buy an USB drive so i clicked on it curiously. It took me to the page displaying the folders. I was really surprised by this move of Microsoft to capture the market and online community earlier than Google. I wanted to buy and Hard disk for my computer to dump more data on it but when i saw SkyDrive today it brought a smile on my face. 

Here are a few things you’ll find on your shiny new SkyDrive: 25 GB of free online storage Available in 6 more regions and 13 more languages Download entire folders as Zip files(limited release)Gorgeous online slide show for your photos
