It's a tragedy of the commons situation. Microsoft might be _able_ to provided effectively limitless funding to power these free workers, but if enough people choose to abuse this, Microsoft might no longer be _willing_ to provide that funding, so everybody would be deprived of a useful resource because of the bad actors.

Yeah, Microsoft does some very strange things. Particularly, I'd like to draw attention to how skydrive/one drive used to have 25? GB and not only did Microsoft lower it to 7? But it said it would delete files over the limit. I have gone over the limit on Dropbox and it just stops you from uploading until you bring your storage within quota. Google Drive does the same iirc. Microsoft is just outright terrible.
