New SkyDrive sync tool is wonderful.

Moved My Docs into SkyDrive folder and I now have everything sync'd between desktop and laptop. Plus I can still access & edit seamlessly from work and on my phone. Always the latest version of files, and stored on far more robust infrastructure than I can afford at home.

I understand the concerns of giving up control, but hasn't everyone done this already with their email by using gmail or hotmail? For me the cloud is the way to go and the 25gig free from MS is doing nicely.
