The service has the potential to eclipse even Gmail, Google’s second best-known product after 
their google.com search engine. That said, it’s no wonder users have been ripe with anticipation for years - yes, that’s how long the rumors have persisted. Gdrive is basically online storage where Google servers have enough capacity to hold the entire contents of your hard drive. It will likely also come with enough brains to do cool tricks now with bigger things down the road - like booting your computer from online drive to load the Google operating system.
Gdrive is basically a cloud-based storage that should have two faces: A desktop client that keeps local and online files and folders in two-directional sync via a web interface for accessing your desktop files anywhere and anytime, using any network-enabled computer. In addition, it will come tightly integrated with other Google services to enable editing of supported document types, like spreadsheets and presentations via Google Docs, email via Gmail, images via Picasa Web Albums, etc.
This opens powerful possibilities. For instance, you could start working on a spreadsheet at home and continue via Gdrive web interface accessed in an Internet cafe. When you arrive back home, changes to the spreadsheet have already trickled down from the cloud to your desktop. The idea, of course, is all but revolutionary, but Google’s execution could set it apart.

Question:
Can anyone help me I am trying to stop everything from starting up when
I sign on. I used to be able to to it through msconfig and startup.
Then you could check or uncheck the programs you did not want to start
up and run in the background.
SOLUTION:
In vista, press the start button and in the search box go and write msconfig and press enter
You can also add the run box to the start menu like it was with XP
Follow these steps:
Go to the control panel > Taskbar & Start Menu (ICON) > Start menu (tab) > Customize (button)
Scroll down towards the bottom of things you can add - remove from the start menu and put a checkmark on RUN COMMAND
TIPS: As Hamtaro Pointed out you could also use the WIN key + R keyboard shortcut to pop open the RUN dialog box. Also you can drag and drop the run icon on to your desktop to create a shortcut!
Hope this helps, Comments are welcome!
