It a default change, not mandatory. Money says business users will never see this fuckery.

And they wonder why some of us are still using local installed and firewalled Office 2007.

Office 2003 was the last usable version.

Honestly, even as a privacy guy, this makes sense. SkyDrive was unique in giving people 30GB, plus 5GB if you turned on photo upload (even if you turned it right back off). So even without paying, my OneDrive is still 35GB. That's plenty for documents.

What Windows 10+ does with backing stuff up to OneDrive and sharing it across builds is smart, if not the best execution. I kind of have that between my Macs and iPhone with Safari bookmarks and passwords.

I would be asking how safe OneDrive is and if it had any major breaches, if I were a Windows user. I'm actually using iWork and iCloud though, and I trust that a little more, but OneDrive doesn't seem that problematic to me. There's a lot I don't like about Microsoft, but OneDrive doesn't earn any ire from me. Should it? (Probably not since I'm a Mac user and it's all abstract anyway.)
