So, the Windows solution is ideal for things you want to store but never retrieve? ;) A bit like MSback-up.:yuck: Let me rephrase that: If you upload them to SkyDrive via Windows Live Photo Gallery (at least) it can shrink (but doesn't have to) them during the upload. |

| 1259318 | 2012-02-20 09:01:00 | Yeah, right. M$ "back-up solutions" have a bit of a tradition of getting the users back up; when they try to get the data back they find that said data is randomly dispersed about the universe. Post-it notes are quicker, more secure, and more reliable. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
