Is it that difficult, I wonder?

I also see that there’s a way to run it on my Windows Home Server. I’ll have to take a closer look.

A quick note for your readers: for users concerned about using a 3rd party cloud service we have released an advanced version of our sync product that allows you to configure your own server to host the data – it’s called Xmarks BYOS and it’s free.

A smart person doesn’t blindly use a technology just because it’s there and convenient. IMHO. YMMV.

Wow, now I sound like an elitist :) Still, I like running Ubuntu on the 1000HE now and then to tinker and get work done.
