Microsoft Strips Key Features from Office 2007, Vista

Microsoft Strips Key Features from Office 2007, Vista: "Meanwhile, Vista is also losing a major feature, PC-to-PC sync, which Microsoft Co-President Jim Allchin described to me back in January as one of his favorite Vista features. 'You really can leave all your documents on a server and use cached copies on the client,' he said. 'It's just synchronizing the files when you make changes, as needed.'
It's unclear whether PC-to-PC sync will appear later, perhaps as a Web download update to Vista, or in a future Windows release. Typically, when Microsoft drops features from the Windows version currently in development, those features get lumped into the next release. Microsoft has indicated that it will be releasing more frequent Windows updates going forward, though it hasn't yet specified how it will deliver those updates."
