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..

It's only for existing Skydrive users, which is good if you are one:

My wife had never used SkyDrive before, but had a hotmail account. I logged into her SkyDrive for the first time and claimed the 25GB no problem..

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