Well keep i mind it is a beta right now, who knnows what hte ultimate size will be. Although 500 gig would be pretty impressive, screw hard drives!

Well don’t forget that gmail gives each user nearly 3 gigs of storage space without problem. Things are getting larger in today’s day, so I just expected the storage size to be larger -.-

Yeah XiD… 500GB would be an insane amount of online storage to offer people. 500MB is a lot more than what you get with other services, especially .Mac which only gives you 10MB.

Not exactly a new idea, but Microsoft is definitely banking on it. 500 gigs of online storage could be very nice to have, but there’s always the worry of uptime and data loss since the data isn’t directly in your control. It’s not something i would put my entire hard drive on (it wouldn’t fit anyway) and then consider it safe….yet.
