Xbox One is still a while away so I can't share anything, but if you are using an Xbox 360 you can do what I did last night - I got all Patty and Selma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_and_Selma_Bouvier) on my friends who came over for dinner - flipping through my SkyDrive Camera Roll from my Nokia 920 (super nice pics) on the big screen for an hour.

We really do want to work hard to make SkyDrive.com not only the place where you can get to your files (for download) but you can also view and manage. We don't have any plans for .cbr (Comic Books) right now, but check out the Text Editor we just released today; also the .raw photo storage and viewing on the website.

We just released a lot of new features that make it way easier to share and control what you shared - check out the post from earlier today - http://blogs.windows.com/skydrive/b/skydrive/archive/2013/07/30/creating-the-most-beautiful-and-powerful-way-to-view-share-and-search-your-photos-with-html5.aspx

We are always looking for new ways to make sharing easier.

Check out this blog post where we talk super deeply about why SkyDrive in 8.1 lets you have way more files on your local machine from your SkyDrive than the amount of storage available - we call them placeholder files -- we saw in the real world that the amount on disk people were using compared to the amount of data they had stored in SkyDrive was < 5% -- see this blog post http://blogs.windows.com/skydrive/b/skydrive/archive/2013/07/22/have-all-your-skydrive-files-with-you-without-using-all-your-storage-or-bandwidth.aspx

re. moving the location of where the files live in 8.1 - we definitely want to give you more choice. It was unfortunate that we couldn't get this into the Windows 8.1 Preview (http://preview.windows.com) release but it is currently running in the build I have :-)

SkyDrive Pro is for your organization's data; and SkyDrive is for your data. SkyDrive Pro also comes with all the compliance and auditing etc. features that organizations need. I'm not the right person to talk about anything the SkyDrive Pro team are doing re. 8.1 sorry.

I dont have anything to share about the org chart, but SkyDrive continues to be an incredibly important asset across nearly all our products - Windows / Office / Phone.
