Earlier this week I asked “where is Windows Live’s IE9 support?”, well it appears my question has been answered. When having a quick read through the comments on the most recent article on Inside Windows Live (its not something I often do, but might have to do more often) about the new features coming to Hotmail I saw the below comment from Dick Craddock, Group Program Manager, Windows Live Hotmail.

I think the jump list support mentioned here is specifically for Hotmail but I think its safe to assume that the entire Windows Live suite of online services will soon be receiving new, IE9 only features. Why this was mentioned as a new feature I don’t know but it certainly seems to be coming soon.

Update: Thanks to @Manan I now have an image of how the Hotmail jump list looks from Mat Velloso’s blog on MSDN.

It looks good to me.

"icons showing the synch status of files would be nice too, just like SVN, Drop Box, G Drive do :)"

"I have annother tip. You could have all your documents folder synced to skydrive if you right click the my documents folder and change the location of my documents to a folder within skydrive. That way when you change something in my documents folders it is also updated to skydrive. You can do this to sync between computers if you don't exceed the skydrive limit."

"Whta's about hardlinks (fsutil....) - so you can have yor original useful file structure and those folders, which should be synced, as hardlinks in the skydrive-structure? However, Live Mesh rules and I am also sad, that this good important difference to dropbox & Co - I can select, which folders of my structure should be synced - is now missing. "

"I think Microsoft is reinventing itself in a good way. Deep SkyDrive and Office integration while keeping everything in sync (tablets, desktop, laptop, phone) is a great value that I think should and will attract some people as well as part of the Enterprise sector"

"Wouldn't it be nice for the Windows Phone 7 app to have a back-up functionality? That you can back-up all (or a section of) your pictures, documents on your phone instead of the one-by-one approach."
