There are some issues with the data portability IMHO. For example, if you edit doc in Office Live and then wanna send out with GMail, how would you do that? Or how will you check out the photos in the camera and see them instantly? The different security model for web app made those tasks harder.

Seems like you could have some type of remote directory that would allow normal file operations like uploads to work while still storing the data in the cloud. Something along the lines of a samba share.
