OneDrive
I see Microsoft has – once again – decided that changing the name of something will somehow benefit them, increase sales, and that they are now going to call their “SkyDrive” cloud service “OneDrive”.
Whoopee!
Yes, I feel much better about cloud computing now. Sign me up!

I’m sure the very highly paid People In Charge at Microsoft are a lot smarter than me. But I’m not seeing all that a bright a future for them…

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

I’m amazed how unknowledgeable this statement is , Microsoft was forced to change from using SkyDrive due to the Murdoch company BskyB taking them to court. We are of course used the anti Microsoft attitudes of many bloggers but a sample search would have meant that you will at least got your facts right.

lifeartist2000,
I was using sarcasm.
I have been watching (and repairing) Microsoft since 1995. They have a long history of changing the names of products in the hope that alone will change consumer opinion (which has been noted and commented on by others); most recently renaming the “Metro” interface (Windows 8) to “Modern”.
Further, the promo email notification they sent me, alerting me to the ‘new’ OneDrive, made no reference to a response to loss of trademark/renaming, but sounded like a new release, so improved they thought it merited a new name. (And that took some chutzpah..)
If you look at my past articles (over 2,000 of them), you’ll see I’m certainly not a ‘MS basher’ – but I admit I’m not a fan of Win8 (nor “one OS for all platforms” philosophy).
