Zlinko,

I think you can virtually guarantee that they'll offer more space for a fee. If they've any sense they'll offer premium packages as well - I can see Office Live customers going for that in a big way.

I think Live Folders is going to be the thing that ties lots of loose ends together. I wouldn't mind betting that photos on Live Spaces will get stored in your Live Folders. Shared folders in Live Messenger currently will migrate to Live Folders. There'll be a Live Spaces gadget for viewing your Live Folders. Windows Explorer will support Live Folders so you'll be able to effortlessly drag-and-drop between your local folders and your live folders. Pictures/photos stored in public Live Folders will be indexed by Live Search Images. Soapbox videos will be migrated to be stored in your Live Folders. Live Hotmail storage will be part of your Live Folders. XBOX Live info willbe stored in Live Folders. Live Maps collections will be accessible via Live Folders.

All tied together by your Live ID. Microsoft's investment in Microsoft Passport all those years ago is now gonna pay off huge.

Those are my predictions anyway.

Hmm.. I wonder if they will offer more space for a subscription fee. Sort of like .Mac has at the moment.

YEAAHHHH!!! Finally.

If anything is going to make people sit up and listen it'll be cloud storage.

Has this been borne out of FolderShare?
