Ancestry App for Windows 8

Windows8-Person_smallWriting in the Ancestry.com Blog, Duff Wilson describes a new easy way to view and share your family tree right from your desktop. Ancestry for Windows 8 provides an attractive and innovative way to experience and show off your tree.  Editing in the app is not supported yet, so to edit or build your tree, there are launch points that take you to Ancestry.com on the web.  Any changes you make to your online tree on Ancestry.com will show up back in the desktop Ancestry application.

This strikes me as the future, not only of genealogy information, but almost everything else in our daily lives. We now are seeing desktop, mobile, handheld, and web-based, or "cloud," applications all merge into one. Take your information with you wherever you are. You can have easy access to information that is important to you at any moment you want it.
