Windows Reside branding is absolutely nothing to create household about. It turns out even the Live codenames have been a source of confusion.Case in stage: Windows Reside Folder Share and Windows Live Folders (the services which may perhaps or could possibly not ultimatly be branded as Windows Live SkyDrive).Microsoft execs — including Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie himself — led folks astray a while back by using the LiveDrive codename to refer to a “cloud storage company.” In fact,
Office 2007, that company was code-named SkyDrive.However, LiveDrive is still an active Microsoft codename,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010, as the LiveSide.net guys verified this week. My bet? LiveDrive is the codename for Folder Share,
Office Pro Plus, the client-side component of Microsoft;s shared-folder company.)Maybe all this will become clearer when Microsoft takes the wraps off Windows Live Version 2 this fall. And maybe we;ll get to see that nifty new Reside.com page,
Office 2007 License, which seems ready to morph into a full-fledged Reside services portal ….Update on August 9: More on SkyDrive vs. LiveDrive. And what do you know: There;s the new Reside.com property page,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010!
