Although I am a Mac man here in my little blogosphere, (iMac, iPhone, iPad – the holy trinity of Apple) I, like so many others, am forced to use a Windows PC at work. A Windows XP PC at that. I guess it could be worse. It could be Vista! Anyway, a colleague of mine was showing me a new plug-in for Outlook that he had installed.

Photo Stream is not the Workflow you Expected
Aperture Syncs with Photo Stream
Since it came out at the end of 2011, there has been a lot of negativity about iCloud’s Photo Stream service.
