Just until windows and apple both offer the service. Apple is already on the way with iCloud.

Microsoft has had such a service for a few years now, they call it SkyDrive. Unfortunately it wasn't a very good user experience when I last looked at it. It's been a while though (and I just use Dropbox now), so it might have gotten better.

Microsoft may have just been too early. Once they recognize the success they can clone the usability in no time. Or patent troll Dropbox off the map. Very risky investment if you ask me.
That said, Dropbox is a great product and the free version is good enough for the small number of documents that I have that are not somewhere else in the cloud.
