| Guest | The Future of Foldershare? First off, let me say that I love FolderShare, and this post isn't intended to be any kind of troll. That said, I am becoming increasingly concerned that there isn't really a commitment on the part of Microsoft to this product. Browsing the foldershare.com web site, there is little to reassure the visitor that this is a service that is being actively nurtured, or more importantly, regarded as truly part of Window Live. Just a couple examples: About Us: Links to press release on the acquisition of FolderShare - from 2005. Privacy Policy/User Agreement: Still references ByteTaxi, not Microsoft. Screen Shots: Still show pre-acquisition branding. Download: No mention of Vista, Intel based Mac Platforms, or OS X versions greater than 10.3.8. (FolderShare is the ONLY application on my Mac that has not been made available as a Universal Binary, standard practice for a couple of years now). Granted, many of these are truly minor issues, but the impression given to the user is that FolderShare is a service that Microsoft acquired, did minimal rebranding of, and then forgot about. I guess what I'm hoping here is that someone from Microsoft can provide some reassurance that there is a commitment to this service. A product/service roadmap/timeline would be great, but even just an indication from a PM that this service has not been abandoned would be appreciated. Thanks, Eric |

FolderShare.com site), but if you look back a few months to when this newsgroup was created, you'll see some messages from Microsoft team members about the fact that they're working very hard on new and great things for FolderShare. FolderShare was Han Solo'd into a brick of Carbonite for a long time, but it's been thawed out and the team is working on new stuff...just a while longer. :-) Jason Dunn www.digitalhomethoughts.com | ||||||||||||
