​

In this video presentation, I take a look at two distinct, but uniquely linked Microsoft Cloud Computing services: SkyDrive and Live Mesh. This video serves as a quick look at the two services and what they offer, without getting heavily entrenched in long explanations of how the service itself operates or functions from a networking perspective. More or less, this video hopes to introduce casual individuals to these two products, and the 25GB of free disk space that can be used to back up nearly anything.
