What went wrong with Linux on the Desktop
Tuxman:
Yes, the "cloud" is something different. While it is nice to have it (for example: Evernote), it is dangerous when it comes to sensitive data.
wraith808:
Oh, great, you can export the data you actually provided yourself. Now that's useful.

Isn't that what we were talking about? Being able to get at your data instead of being locked into an ecosystem? I mean, you can't truly expect them to make the interface for transferring into everything there is out there, can you? I haven't seen anything (other than dedicated import/export utilities) that go that far.
Tuxman:
Of course I can. ;D
At least it should be able to import too.
wraith808:
It can import into its own ecosystem from others... or that's not the type of import you're talking about?
Tuxman:
I meant: Complete merging.
You can't just type your IMAP data and everything is in Google Mail, right?
You can't just provide Dropbox access and everything is on Google Drive, right?
Etc.etc.
