Windows 8 will allow data synchronization via Windows Live

The new login method will create many new utilities, allowing you to backup and synchronize applications and settings via the cloud service.

In addition to the usual login, Microsoft will provide new operating system users with a different login option with a Windows Live account. According to the Microsoft user experience program group director, logging in with Windows Live will have many utilities such as:

- Link, synchronize settings on your computer with Windows Live account. This allows users to save settings when they log on to another computer with this account.

- Save the "credentials" of applications and websites for you to use next time without having to log in again.

- Metro interface applications will also be synchronized.

- Automatically log into applications and services using Windows Live as an authenticated account.

This service will be reserved for Windows 8 computers. Windows Phone users or other versions of Windows operating systems will not be used.

Windows 8 users can log in with Windows Live.

In the Control Panel in Windows 8, you are provided with a 'Sync PC Settings' option that allows you to turn off or enable this synchronization function. This data will be stored in Microsoft's 'cloud' service. Users can turn off / on all of these sync options, or just select a few apps to sync (sync apps, browsers, themes .)

A new tool called Restore / refresh will also help users create a backup of the settings so that they can be restored later.
