As announced by the SkyDrive team blog on february 21, Microsoft’s answer to Box.net and FileDen, the Microsoft SkyDrive Beta has gone beyond amazing its users, as along with coming out of BETA phase, the storage space is increased to 5GB (Box.net and FileDen gives 1GB for their free users. This is a welcome feature and it certainly incerases the usability of this online file storage service. This is one of the best and the most reliable file hosting services in the world.
However, one of the sour point about it still remains. The service still doesn't supports resume functionality, if one's internet connection breaks down between a download. This makes it inappropriate for downloading large files, specially for people who are on a slow (read < 256 kbps) snailband connections. Let's hope that this'll be resolved soon, after all its Microsoft :-).

Hey Guys,
Since last few months, I have came to notice that Microsoft India is organizing many seminars and other in-person events in Delhi as well as other parts of India. These sessions are jam packed with latest and greatest information related to Microsoft products and services as well as their partners. Different events cater to different kind of people including IT professionals, Business Decision Makers, Technology Decision Makers and like. In the past there have been many such events, the recent in Delhi being the Microsoft Security Summit 2007. I personally attended it, and tell you what, it was awesome.
In the month of February, Microsoft is going to do Hands-On Lab Sessions on Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft SQL Server Technologies from 6th-8th and 13th to 15th February 2008 respectively in Delhi. I am sure there will be sessions scheduled for other cities also, but since i am in Delhi, i checked only for these ones in Microsoft Event Search.
These will be 2 day sessions starting from 9:AM to 18:00 PM at Microsoft's Office's Training Room at Nehru Place, New Delhi. Further details can be checked on the Microsoft Events website.
All the interested people should try to attend these sessions as there, these guys share a great wealth of information. Entry is by invitation only and you'll have to register in advance. To register, you must have a Hotmail or Windows Live ID. Go to http://msevents.microsoft.com/?culture=en-in for registration. Do an advance search there for your particular city.
See you there! :-)
