Final Version Of Windows Live SkyDrive Outwits Beta Version

Online storage facilities, or commonly known as cloud storage services, are rapidly replacing conventional storage options. It would be too outdated to imagine about conventional storage options after about a decade. Though Dropbox introduced online storage for the first time, many firms have started offering online storage services to users in the recent past. Today, there are numerous cloud storage services available for a user to choose from, many of which allow users to back up a certain amount of data online free of charge.

Although it came late, Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud storage facility with its Windows Live support options has significant appeal to the users.

Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive

The final version of Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive facility is out now. Reports indicate that the final version features many more options than the beta version. There has been a significant improvement of storage space. The beta version allowed users to store only up to 512 MB of data. When the final version came, the storage capacity was improved to 1GB. Interestingly, last year’s update upped the storage capacity again. Currently, Windows Live SkyDrive provides users with 5 GB of storage space. Although the storage space is less than Google Drive and other third party storage services, one must consider that the service is provided free of cost from the world’s number one software company.

SkyDrive available in many countries

Another good side of Microsoft’s SkyDrive is that it is available in many countries. According to the Windows Live Support team, the final version of SkyDrive is made available for 38 countries across the world. This is a significant improvement against the beta version. The beta version was made available for only three countries, UK, USA and India.

Final version of SkyDrive boasts increased reliability

The beta version of SkyDrive suffered a few drawbacks and many even considered it unreliable. Microsoft has addressed such issues in the new SkyDrive version, and assures users about the improvements brought up to the facility. A remarkable improvement that can be seen in SkyDrive is the smoothness and quickness in uploading data.

Microsoft has retained most of the appreciated features of the SkyDrive beta version in the final version. Options to integrate with popular Windows Live services and ability to create private or public folders are examples for the popular features retained in the final SkyDrive version.

Microsoft Ends $99 Promotion For Xbox

Earlier, Microsoft had announced that if the users were interested in a two year old contract, they could get Xbox 360 and Kinect for just $99. But this was almost two years ago, and now according to latest reports, they’ve repealed this offer. Microsoft spokesperson David Dennis said that the promotional offer was ended a while ago.

According to the Windows Live support team, the $99 Xbox 360 promotion was first made available to users exclusively at Microsoft Stores. Eventually, it was also made available with nationwide retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, and Wal-Mart. But then, if you planned to cancel the subscription ahead of schedule, you would even have to face an early termination penalty. Now, since the promotional offer has been discarded, the original price of the Xbox One is $499. But Albert Penello, who works as the Microsoft director of product planning, said that Microsoft is all set to introduce a subsidized offer later on in the Xbox 360’s life cycle. This created a stir among existing Xbox users, and many contacted the Windows Live support team to know if the news was real.

The announcement created such confusions among users because upon the announcement of the offer for Xbox 360, most of them thought that Xbox One would also be available for the same price. Now, getting Xbox One and Kinect for $99 isn’t really a bad option! But then, Microsoft has ended this offer, much to the dismay of the Xbox users. According to David Dennis, "This program was intended to be a pilot experiment from the start, and Microsoft routinely adjusts the mix of offers available to its customers, and this change was simply standard business practice. The subsidized model really makes a lot of sense towards the end of the life. People are more price sensitive. They are more cost conscious. It's a model I like; I'm sure we'll bring it back. But not right now." So, it is official that Microsoft has dropped the promotional plans for Xbox 360, and that gamers would no longer be able to get both the services for such a low price.

Xbox has been enjoying a supreme position in the field of gaming consoles. Now, it will be interesting to see how the sudden increase in price will affect its popularity.
