Microsoft has released a trial version of a file-sharing program for Windows 7 that lets users share files with their friends and business associates.

The software links Windows Live IDs of users to their Windows 7 account.

“On his homegroup, Bob wants to share certain documents with his wife but not with his kids. Simply by specifying his wife’s Windows Live ID user name, Bob can give his wife exclusive permission to access documents on his computer,” notes Microsoft on its website about Windows Live IDs.
