Microsoft to rename SkyDrive as 'NewDrive' in the UK?Sh

 

Microsoft hasn't had much luck with naming conventions in recent years. It was forced to rename Windows 8's Metro interface to Modern UI in 2012, and more recently embarked on a hunt to find a new moniker for its SkyDrive cloud storage service after losing a trademark spat with broadcaster BSkyB.
It now appears that hunt may be over, according to in-the-know types on Twitter - namely Windows guru Paul Thurrott who predicts that the service will be renamed to 'NewDrive' after seeing it rear its head in Office 2013.
However, it's worth mentioning that Microsoft has used the 'New' prefix as a placeholder for upcoming services in the past, including Outlook.com, which used the code name NewMail when making the transition from Hotmail.
