This whole saga has been terribly embarrassing for anyone who was evangelizing for onedrive, whether they were employees or just excited fans. They now have to go back on their word and explain that 30gb is actually somehow 5gb unless you provide a credit card # then it's 1tb for a year for free and after that if you don't remember to opt out $100/year or something. Why not leave everything as it was for current customers and just limit new ones. They've done it before when they had skydrive/windows live mesh/windows live folders/office live workspaces which each offered an independant amount of free data (usually somewhere between 5-25gb) when they eventually consolidated them all anyone who had previously used the services got 25gb while OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) offered 15gb. And in general grandfathered deals aren't unprecedented, nearly every credit card/cell phone plan/[any service with long term agreements] that changes lets people who had the original keep what they had and just changes things for new customers.
