This Business Week article is actually about HP’s efforts to make their MS Windows PCs differentiated in the marketplace and/or (maybe) offer their own slicked-up version of Linux for consumer use (a la the Apple/FreeBSD relationship).

That’s the point of the article… one paragraph up from the end, there a little blurb about MS unveiling something this coming October, which will allow a user to:

…start a Power Point presentation from her home computer, store it on the Net, and then pick it up from her office PC. Windows’ ubiquity makes the software “very practical,” says Bill Veghte, a Microsoft senior vice-president.

wow. You mean like.. SFTP or SCP? … like this?

scp me@my.domain.com:/home/me/file.odp ./

Say, that is groovy!

…of course, she could also just save it to a thumb drive.

Those Microsoft guys are so clever… what’ll they think of next?!
