MS is adding paid storage options, with tiers giving an additional 20GB, 50GB, and 100GB of storage.
New users get 7GB for free.
Existing users? They currently get 25GB , and can continue to do so for free if they hurry up and opt in.
There is a new desktop client, for synching (like Dropbox), to bring the Live Mesh side into the fold.
The mobile apps are also getting updates.

Thanks for that, i had already 25GB and i think it is a con for them to downgrade it to 7GB then expect you to click a button to upgrade it again to 25GB without telling you that it had been downgraded.
I also have 3 idrive 25GB accounts so i should really use them at some point.
