Maybe a stupid comment, but what about a system that downloads your config.
Most important thing I see is that I can start working in my own personal
environment when I go to another computer. Things like storing my bookmarks
or which toolbars I had enabled are a lot less important to me. I would
choose for a system that would download _all_ of my settings and would allow
me the possibility to upload that when I am finished working. But the last step
is not really important to me either.
Features like uploading whenever I contact the internet or things like that
would be nice.
