PC-to-PC sync to disappear from Vista

Another feature bites the dust

MICROSOFT has decided to pull yet another feature from its super soaraway Vista product claiming that it will not be working properly in time.

PC-to-PC Sync, is P2P-based technology for keeping files up-to-date on multiple machines. A spokesVole said that while the feature was really good, Volish denizens couldn't get it to work "at a quality level customers demand".

The consumer-oriented PC-to-PC Sync was not very useful. It could only synchronise between machines running Vista, and even then it was only between computers which had the same user account name and password.

However so much has been culled from Vista, it is a wonder that there is anything left. However it is starting to look like a graphically upgraded version of XP. The spokesVole added that PC-to-PC Sync would be the last feature to be dropped from Vista. It might re-appear in later versions.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
