Fab and Dan, I think you are missing the point about porting UbuntuOne to Windows. My main OS is Ubuntu, but I have another PC with Windows that I must use for my work (hope to get rid of it some day, but it won't happen soon). I use Dropbox to sync my files between the two, and to have them available via the web interface when I'm using other computers away from home (which I do almost every day). My Dropbox is filled with about 4GB out of the 5GB of the free account, and once I get it filled I'll be happy to pay for more. I should prefer using UbuntuOne and spending my money with Canonical rather then Dropbox, but it won't happen unless UbuntoOne syncs my Windows PC. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. In fact, I'm willing to bet that many Ubuntu users also use Windows (at work) so this is a very important feature for UbuntuOne if it is to compete with Dropbox.
