Microsoft finally does something with Foldershare

I have been a Foldershare user for a long time. I use it to backup data offsite between my home computer and my office computer. I also use it to share some web work that I do for a local NPO. I was exited to see that Microsoft bought them and integrated this in their Windows Live offering... over 2 years ago.

But since then, nothing. No updates to the software, no apparent updates to the web application and there were a few scary outages recently.

And then surprise! Sometimes in the course of the past few days, the entire site was redone to adorn the look and feel of the Windows Live applications and there is a new satellite application that also changes the look and feel.

Hopefully, this means that the service is alive and well and will receive the support it deserves from Microsoft.
