Wow. If your PC is on you will be able to stream video (and browse pictures and files) with a 2 factor authorization. Pretty impressive (even though that probably won't be available outside US). They took their sweet time with the SkyDrive desktop app but it seems it's worth it

Windows 7 already does remote streaming. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/feature...

It's an awesome feature that not many people know they have.

Only problem is both server and client need to be win7. Would be more useful if the client could be anything.

That's not true. Any DNLA client works as well. In my case a Bravia EX series.

I can right click and "play to Bravia" on any media file and browse my media from the TV unit.
