Using Microsoft's own cloud services to distribute its leaked software. Such audacity.

Well to be fair it will look more suspicious if he were to upload 10s of GBs in data to Google's or Dropbox's servers.

I know, how did they force him to use SkyDrive?

I think they call it OneDrive now.

Din't realize there was a running joke about SkyDrive but just to play along:

Umm maybe because Skydrive offers 100GB (200 bing points) compared to dropbox at 2gb and google drive at 15gb. You know you need space for all these heavy uploads.

what are 'bing points'?

They sound like they are Chuck E Cheese tokens or something.

Crosby currency.

When you hire a car, before taking it you should walk around the car and note all the scratches and bing points left on it by previous hirers.

They're the latest bitcoin clone. :-)

It's okay, he's a web developer

It's probably just a Microsoft internal tool.

Oh, and I think it's called One Drive or something now, due to a naming dispute and possibly xbone inspiration for the replacement.

MASSDK ("Mass Decay") Microsoft ASSDK
