Another reason to avoid Windows 8 – it nearly forces you to use SkyDrive, and it is very, very easy to lose everything that way.

After contact with Microsoft support he found out that his account was blocked because there was a  folder on his SkyDrive that contained content which was not allowed by the code of conduct of Microsoft SkyDrive. The folder was a private folder, not shared to anyone else.

The folder had four partial nudes in it. That’s it. And of course anything on SkyDrive is getting shared with the NSA.

Anyone who uses a “cloud” service for anything at all important is being foolish. There is no other way to put it.
