It appears that Bing UK will make known their announcement tomorrow morning at 9:30. This announcement will follow several clues to what might be announced; I have been trying to figure it out to no avail.

The final clue is this:

The clue is accompanied by the following text:

Here’s the final clue! Visit http://www.theartoftechnology.co.uk/ at 0930 GMT tomorrow and all will be revealed

Visiting the site presents an old looking monitor with a flash video and the text “Coming soon. The art of technology with Brian Badonde”. As this is a Flash video I am no longer inclined to think that the announcement has anything to do with HTML5. In fact I have very little idea of what might be announced or shown. In fact I am now worried that this is not really an announcement at all but will just be marketing for Bing UK.

Anyway, whatever it may be will be known tomorrow. Any final guesses?

Update: Brian Badonde is a fictional character from the British comedy TV show Facejacker, this could be quite an entertaining announcement.

"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."
