Can Microsoft’s ‘Harmonica’ create P2P harmony across all devices? | |

Ever since Microsoft decided in June 2006 to ax the standalone version of its WinFS uber file system, the company has been noticeably silent about its data synchronization plans. But that doesn't mean the company has given up on its ambitious strategy to synchronize data across both Windows and non-Windows-based devices and services. In fact, there is a team inside the SQL Server database unit that is building an end-to-end, P2P data synchronization platform, code-named "Harmonica," that is designed to fulfill that task, according to sources close to the company. Unlike some of Microsoft's other "anytime, anywhere" schemes, Harmonica doesn't seem to be complete vaporware. Microsoft's Windows Live Favorites synchronization capability is based on Harmonica, sources said. | ||
