All valid points but here is a counter-argument.... there are the always-remote (home office type) workers. They need a solid data backup/recovery plan... limited or no access to corp makes that a non-starter as a destination, so means they must rely upon their own methods (ext USB drive and B/U sw for ex)... having a SkyDrive available makes for a very nice addition to or an alternate for the USB scenario. I find that the trickle upload action I get from my SkyDrive works incredibly well and I have a really crap internet connection... same process used in OneNote as well.

So far we've been testing Office 2013 in IT and the only problem we have is the prominent integration of SkyDrive. Does anyone know if there is a way, via the Office 2013 admin setup or GPO, to disable SkyDrive but keep the SharePoint syncing features? Thanks in advance!
