Some of us have the privilege to not have to choose – My Surface Book and MacBook Pro peacefully co-exist over OneDrive and Adobe Creative Cloud… This utility is purpose-built as a marketing tool for those in the non-tech-savvy populous that think they use a Mac because it's "easier"… This tries to create a "just works" experience for moving over to a Surface device.The reality is that few people fully understand EFSS storage like OneDrive and even fewer have the discipline to store everything in that bucket on their own… Unless their IT department has redirected their Documents, Downloads, Desktop, and Pictures folders to OneDrive by default.Also, if Microsoft would change the OOBE to be more guiding to some key preferences, these misconceptions about Windows being "too technical" would go away quickly. And I suspect an official release could happen at any time.
Right? (That said, you may be moving from Apple’s iCloud to a more open and pervasive solution like OneDrive, so this tool still makes some sense.)Īnyway. But if you’re storing your important information in the cloud, and you should be, this is all superfluous because that data is already available from anywhere. It runs on the Mac you’re about to dump for a shiny and expensive new Surface device, helps you transfer documents, photos, movies, and music.

Most likely because it wasn’t ready, or because the firm simply wanted to reveal it on their own schedule. Microsoft, it seems, has pulled the utility offline. Nor do I believe this utility is all that special or even useful to most.īut then I can only guess at that because the download link is coming up dead for me this morning. But I don’t really see this as a big deal. It was immediately trumpeted as big news by tech blogs big and small, especially those in the Apple or Microsoft spheres. After a short leak window, however, the utility is no longer available.Īs is so often the case these days, the existence of the utility comes to us via Walking Cat on Twitter.

Microsoft has created a software utility that will help Mac switchers import data into a Surface or other PC.
