note: at the time I first posted this I did not see Florian's message (slow servers to south-east Asia tonight ?).
WinBeta: "cutting free OneDrive storage from 15GB to 5GB, dropping unlimited storage for Office 365 accounts for a 1TB plan, and also dropping future 100GB and 200GB plans." [^].
Details of plan cuts, and how long certain files can persist if you are over the limits here: [^].

I am going to keep my mouth shut for profanity reasons. But, what the **** is this! Microsoft is seriously going off-track, I am very much glad I found Ubuntu Studio. If I hear another news like this, I am shifting myself to Ubuntu Studio, for sure.
I am also unsure as to how would dropping the storage cap make sure that users are more productive? By writing short codes, by making sure there videos are always trimmed down to 480p. This is pathetic!

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.

I know that you accidentally double-posted this - but it makes sense somehow: You have to check twice to believe what's going on.

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.
