Microsoft Makes Life Hard For Users.

This report on Techspot describes a recent update to OneDrive, which requires a reason for why you want to disable service (see the picture to the right). I can think of a few perfectly reasonable reasons to turn of the OneDrive service (not least to comply with an employer's or customer's security policy), and it is none of Microsoft's business. All that Microsoft has achieved is to make the service less simple and pleasant to use, with te potential to drive customers away.
