The difference might be that on a new OS X install in the near future, pressing Save on a document open in even a simple text editor will automatically sync that document to "the cloud" and all my devices.
No desktop app that I'm aware of from Microsoft does that today out of the box, as the default action. Sure you can easily sync stuff with Dropbox or whatever Microsoft's product is, or you can do word processing in your browser with Google Docs - but it sounds like with iCloud that Apple will be the first to offer this type of syncing as the default, no-extra-steps-or-thinking option.
- rimantas 15y ago> pressing Save on a document open You will not need to even do that. It's autosaved. Coming to Lion next month.
- CoryMathews 15y agoAuto-save coming to office, docs etc. since.. years ago.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoLion has revision history though, no?
- sjs 15y agoAuto-save coming to games since 10 years ago. Who cares? This is OS-wide auto save and heavily promoted as how all modern OS X apps should behave. That's far bigger than implementing it in one suite of software and stopping there.
- lukifer 15y agoIt's downright embarrassing how long it has taken the computer industry to make that the default behavior.
