Microsoft bringing cloud music player to SkyDrive.com

Liveside: Rumors about Microsoft bringing a cloud music playing to SkyDrive had been floating around for a long time. Back in May 2011 when Microsoft first announced Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango”, we reported on some indications that “Mango” might support music streaming from SkyDrive (although later denied by Microsoft).

Microsoft goes further down on my list of favorite companies. Oh, wait, it's already at the bottom.

Nucky4178d ago

AtomicGerbil4179d ago

Very difficult to believe you I'm afraid.

Reborn4178d ago

Well, surely you didn't expect them to say.. "yes, yes we do".

In2iti0n4178d ago

I like that. That's funny.
Nobody expected them to say "yes, yes we do". They could just ignore the accusations, and move on.

Reborn4178d ago
