   Against Microsoft's terms of use the company I'm working for is using a   
   Skydrive account to access a few files across different locations.  Even   
   though Microsoft expressly forbids using the free level for commercial   
   uses, we're doing anyway.   
   As per my previous posts I have no respect for the law or private   
   licensing agreements, including DRM.   
   On Internet Explorer 8 and 9 when one tries to switch folders, one will   
   click on the folder and IE does nothing.  One has to his the refresh   
   button, then it goes into the directory we just clicked on.   
   In Mozilla (16) clicking on the directory automatically takes one   
   directly into that directory.   
   Kind of interesting how Microsoft can't even make its own stuff work...   
     with its own stuff.  It even works better on Safari and Camino!  I   
   noticed the same thing when trying to get Apple Mail working with an   
   Exchange server.  I gave it the server info, and it just started   
   working.  Outlook made me specify all the server information manually.   
   Pretty pathetic.  No wonder Microsoft is doomed to fail.  Just like   
   American railroads...  Just like GM...  Microsoft will simply be another   
   behemoth that tried to force its customers to buy their product via   
   proprietary standards, frivolous lawsuits and unfair licensing.   
   Eventually customers fought back.
