I've seen to many times that they have had offerings then cut or just done away with them.
I was in on the beta for the "Free" websites before the went to Office 365 junk.
I just don't trust anything they do anymore.
I would not set up anything on any system they develope.
Or just assume that what ever they offer will be done away with once they get the data they need from the users.

What on Earth are they thinking? In this age of ever-cheaper hosting and storage, everyone's falling over themselves to offer more, faster, cheaper, with more features.
I'm in the review stage of switching our storage solution and this is not helping me feel confident about them. Never would I have considered worrying about a reduction in the plans I move to.
If I move everything to another cloud provider then I need to know that the platform I'm standing on won't suddenly shrink and leave me hanging by my fingertips.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

We’re making changes to OneDrive storage plans for consumers and are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Since we started to roll out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 consumer subscribers, a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. Just another example of: "We said unlimited, but we didn't actually mean it."

Just another confirmation that I still do the right thing not falling for the flashy free things... they remind me the signs "free bird food" that Eile E. Coyote used to put on the street.
If it's free you'll pay for it.

This sucks. Lots of complaints. Nothing worse than offering something and then taking it away. I understand restricting unlimited. It was always silly to offer that anyway. But restricting people who were already restricted (so couldn’t abuse it by definition) makes no sense. I assume they just want more revenue but better to offer incentives to pay for more space rather than futher restricting existing space. They could also have applied restrictions to new users rather than existing ones, like they did originally. And what about very long-term Hotmail users? No longer any reward for loyalty? Way to go Microsoft!

Google’s vice president of design and the man behind the company’s Material Design philosophy, Matias Duarte, has been making waves this morning with several tweets he sent out criticising Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system after he experienced it for the first time on his new Surface Pro 4. And a bigger Start menu. How did he miss that one?

Does he also say that MacOS El Capitan is MacOS Cheetah with a flat look and Window 7's Aero theme?
Oh, hang on: we're talking about a VP from one company calling another company rude names. Right.
As long as we're all being grown up here.

The killing of UserVoice actually took place on 30 October, but the site remains accessible until 16 November -- almost coinciding with the expected release of Threshold 2. Before you start to panic that Microsoft is killing the feedback that has been provided, there is a contingency plan. If they can't hear about bugs, they don't need to fix them
