Check Mozilla's Weave (it synchronizes your browser extensions :) so that they are available on every computer you sit) and I think Apple had .MAC or something which is like remote access, I am sure that they will try to one-up Microsoft in this field.

"This looks to me like remote desktop, and indeed it is, but you are saying that the differences here is that I don't have to traverse any firewalls, or do any crazy things with the connection, and I can actually launch just from Internet Explorer?" Security implications aside suppose Shadow Copy and its related functions are disabled on the user's operating system. What happens when a file becomes corrupted, and replaces the existing document across each back-up?
