With the rise of Cloud Computing we've seen more than a few businesses build their greatness on the idea that you should be able to access all of your digital bits and pieces from wherever you may be. With Windows Blue, you'll be finding that not only your digital media and download approvals will be going with you, you'll also have the ability to move from one PC to the next with your wireless accessories, too.

• Device Associations (including Bluetooth)

• Internet Explorer Tabs and Tracking Protection

• Picture Password

• File History

• Input Personalization

• Explorer Quick Links

• App Secondary Tiles

So say you've got a Bluetooth mouse that you love so very much, but you're often switching from your home computer to your work computer, and your work computer is one that other people often use with their own login. With Windows Blue (the next big update for Windows 8), you'll find that once you've logged in with your Microsoft account, you'll be able to see your Bluetooth mouse right away – provided you've brought it with you.
