The iCloud Control Panel makes it easy to keep your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks up to date automatically between your iOS devices, Mac, and Windows PC. 

It also includes Photo Stream, which wirelessly pushes photos you take with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the Pictures library on your PC — no cable syncing required. 

You can also share select photos with friends and family using Shared Photo Streams, complete with notifications and comments.

iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8. 

Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2010, or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars.
