As you all know Microsoft has already announced the next version of its operating system, Windows 8, and everyone is excited about it, but while a lot of new features has been unveiled, plus the new Metro style design, some other went unsaid like, for example, how everything actually works. Microsoft is betting on having the same Windows experience across devices, one big step to accomplish this is by using your Windows Live ID to keep your profile, applications settings, and other important data store in the Cloud. That way, whenever sign in, it should feel almost like if you were at home. The Windows Live service also keeps track of every PC and Windows Phone you connect to the service and you can even remotely find your phone.
