Microsoft removes PC-to-PC Sync from Windows Vista

Software giants Microsoft have removed yet another feature from their upcoming Windows Vista operating system.

The company confirmed that the Vista would not ship with PC-to-PC Sync, a P2P-based technology for keeping files up-to-date on multiple machines.

A company spokesperson said in a statement on this decision: “While PC-to-PC Sync is a great feature that improves productivity and collaboration we don’t have it at the quality level our customers demand. As a result the decision was made to remove it from Windows Vista.”

PC-to-PC Sync was based on peer-to-peer (P2P) technology and was designed to enable Vista users to sync the contents of specialized folders on both wired and wireless networks.

They have already removed some of the most prominent promised features from the initial launch version of Vista including the WinFS file system and others.
