What does iCloud have to do with Windows? It's not explained anywhere in the article. The purpose of iCloud is its utility, platform lock-in, and the "cloud" checkbox ticked off in every major Apple product. All of those things will probably kill Windows a little bit, but that's not necessarily the main purpose. If anything, it's positioned against Google.

Platform lock-in is a bit gray. They were talking that for Windows they would use Pictures (or is it MyPictures) folder instead of iPhoto. That probably means that if you are a Windows user but own an iPhone you'll still get iCloud service.
