Microsoft a ounces "Live Drive" 2GB iDisk-like storage

Continuing their new Live platform push, Microsoft has a ounced an iDisk-like service du ed Live Drive. This bagillionth addition to the Live product family will boast 2GB of online storage, acce ibly via any computer with a web browser (read: IE or po ibly Firefox - if enough people bug them for it), which can also live on a Windows Vista computer as a virtual drive.

Mac , where we found this, didn't have many more details as to whether Live Drive will mimic any other .Mac functionality, such as a lication and data syncing, and we can't seem to get in with Firefox or Safari so that's all you get for now. Ultimately, with services like Live Drive and AOL's upcoming 5GB of free online storage via Xdrive, the virtual storage market is definitely heating up. Let's just hope it ha 't gotten too hot in the kitchen for .Mac.
