Comment on SkyDrive in Windows 8.1: Cloud storage the way it’s meant to beparent

Comments

I hope they will use NSA logo as documents library icon to increase the irony. I wonder if SkyDrive is being partially subsidized by three letter agencies...

    "What's on the other side of that door that's always
    locked– the one next to all the servers?"
    
    "In there? Just the blind eyes we get in return for
    those .gov contracts. We keep 'em in here so they stay
    cool. If you ever happen to see a live one just leave
    'im be– the contracts say not to touch those. In fact,
    don't mention 'em. Coffee?"

Skydrive maybe not, but Skype probably is (and could be why Microsoft was so lavish in paying $8 billion a company that barely made any money on its own):

Also there was some info in some recent articles about companies sharing data with the feds being paid to do so. It wasn't just the carriers, although the carriers did get paid the most.
