Skydrive means you can open, create, save documents directly from the applications. for example you can open and save an Excel spreadsheet to/from Skydrive directly. FTP is clunky in this regard, it wasn't designed for accessing files from apps, which is how most people do these days
Thanks. Yea, I guess that makes sense. I have it ingrained in my mind that "remote" means ftp, and that's just how I treat it. I guess the whole new "cloud" thing makes it so that even an average idiot can use these services... it honestly kind of annoys me, to be honest, because I liked it when you needed to have a base know-how to do these sorts of things, but I guess I can't really sneer at progress.
Anyway, I upgraded to the 25 gigs. I already had a document in there, so now I only have 24,999,997 KBs left!
