During the Keynote back in June, it was mentioned that photostream would work with Windows. Anyone have any idea how exactly?
 
there will be an iCloud control panel app released (most likely) tomorrow, you just sign into it and select where you want the photos. if you have outlook 2007/2010 it will also set up the email and sync contacts and calender in that too.

yup, that's howim using it now, plus it syncs bookmarks too and lets you manage your iCloud storage
 
I have it working on Windows 7 with the iCloud control panel beta and can confirm it's just a folder - works pretty well so far. I see it'll allow me to sync bookmarks with IE but not Safari or Chrome. Hopefully they add support for both! And i don't see how to sync reading lists in Safari but maybe they'll release an iCloud compatible version of Safari tomorrow.

Annoyingly my bookmarks aren't totally up to date on my iPhone. Dunno how often that syncs
 
Could you guys send me the link to the icloud application for windows..i dont have a mac to extract dmg.
 
So I have iTunes 10.5 and iOS5. With iCloud now live, the help files say to

Choose Start menu > Control Panel > “Network and Internet.”

and there will be an iCloud icon, and there isn't for me.


So how have other people got it working?
 
You have to download iCloud control panel for windows. Google it and download. You will get it :) iCloud is launched?
 
Ah! Thank you :D Have downloaded the Beta version which is working, I assume Apple will release a non-Beta one at some point.
 
Does anyone else's control panel look like this?
