Looks good but I hope they have a good interface. If it is browser based like Docs, I'm not that interested.
I love Dropbox, it is SO handy. I may switch though, because hey, it's google  | |

Mine says not ready yet as well. It apparently hasn't been deployed en mass yet, just to certain users.

Is it possible to work on a file on Google Drive and then save it there, without a copy on the computer (like dropbox)?

I am still testing, but so far so good.
I think I might be moving my off-site backup of important files to Google Drive.
It's really fast too. My friend hit 5MB/s download on his company's 100mbps connection on a video I shared.
Now... where can I find a consumer ISP that offers reasonable symmetric connection..

I guess a current Live account is all you need, then. New Live accounts are the ones that aren't valid.
