First with Chrome, now with OneDrive. What exactly are they trying to do with these "explanations" aside from annoying their user base?
Pushing subscriptions and vendor lock-in. They harass you to use OneDrive so they can later harass you to pony up for a 365 subscription.
The only reason I want a 365 subscription is for Excel, still nothing really beats it.
That's fine if you actually want it. I usually get the Costco deal for the family plan because we need the official MS Office apps and the terabyte storage per account is useful for us.
But Microsoft has gotten really obnoxious lately about upselling in the OS.
