When Windows Live Wave 3 was announced last week, it was revealed that Windows Live FolderShare was being renamed as Windows Live Sync. In December Microsoft is planning to launch a new product Windows Live Sync this can be think FolderShare 2.0. Sounds interesting, but some wonders what’s happening is Microsoft is renaming FolderShare rather than replacing it.

In any case Windows Live Sync will features:

• More folders and files – sync up to 20 folders with 20,000 files each.
• Integration with Windows Live ID – no more extra sign-in stuff to remember.
• Integration with the Recyle Bin – no more separate Trash folder to fiddle with.
• New client versions for both Windows and Mac.
• Unicode support – sync files in other languages.

Once Windows Live Sync goes live, FolderShare will be retired. Existing FolderShare users will be required to upgrade to the new Sync client for their PCs which will automatically rebuild their Personal Libraries
