Although the capacity for what could end up actuality Windows Azure-based Windows 8 accumulator appear from Microsoft, actuality is that the advice was not accepted officially.

As such, users are brash to booty the advice with a atom of salt, than assured Microsoft to accomplish a activity amid Windows 8 and Windows Azure.

Here is the exact job description from the affairs behemothic from Google Cache (via Microsoft-Watch):

“The Windows Server Solutions accumulation is beneath the Server and Billow Division. Our mission is to advance acceptance of Microsoft server and billow platforms/products by application appearance that address to specific bazaar segments.

“The segments they currently focus on are homes, educational institutions and baby businesses. (Windows Home Server, Windows MultiPoint Server and Windows Baby Business Server are our key artefact lines.)

“We assignment on a array of technologies to address to these segments – from kernel-level to built-in UI to managed UI to web services. for archetype they accept developed a centralized computer backup, adaptable storage, UPnP-based router agreement utilities, a alien web abode with a GFS backend and a simplified IT administration UI.

Microsoft has always been blame Windows in to the Cloud. Of work, appropriately far, the aggregation appeared to accept been focused alone on Windows Live.

as Windows Live Wave 4 / Windows Live 2011 is tailored to Windows 7, it’s to be accepted of Microsoft to acclimate Windows Live Wave 5 to Windows 8.

And perhaps, perhaps, users could get the best to accomplish backups of their Windows 8 computers and accept them stored in to Windows Azure, area they will be untouchable by any hardware-related issue, and accessible at any moment.

Still, it seems that the aggregation ability accept added designs, as far as addition Windows vNext in to the Billow is concerned.

Still, while alone cerebration about this, it’s adamantine to anticipate that Microsoft would let end users advancement accomplished adamantine drives in to its Cloud.

Imagine accepting a 500 GB HDD, or alike a 1 TB HDD. I awful agnosticism it that backups of such a consequence will be accustomed on Windows Azure from Windows 8. I awful agnosticism it that such operations are alike feasible, whether it’s now or one years from now.

Or a careful advancement routine, which enables barter to accord assertive areas of Windows 8 with the Cloud, and accept backups stored on Windows Azure.
