I wouldn't blame you for thinking that as a result of the title.
For yesterday's SkyDrive article, the title told us that -- and I'm paraphrasing -- "SkyDrive knocked down to 7GB," even though the 7GB is free and the paid options go up to 100GB.
For today's Google Drive article, the title tells us that "Google Drive will offer up to 100GB of cloud storage," even though only 5GB is free and it is the paid option that gets you 100GB.
Not knocking you for this Victor H., as I understand you did not write the SkyDrive article. Also not bashing Google at all, as I enjoy their services and believe it will be a good product. Just observing the lack of consistency regarding this topic, as the SkyDrive article just came out yesterday so it is still fresh in my mind.

SkyDrive is a good alternative, it offers 25GB of free storage for existing users and also has a desktop app now.

In reply to rocko0011
I'm an existing SkyDrive user. And Microsoft has decided to give the old users a choice to either retain their old allotment of storage (25GB) or decide to keep only 7GB. In other words, old users are given a choice, new users on the other hand, are not. I retained my 25GB FREE storage just a while ago :)
MS has a dedicated page for this:

I've been using Skydrive for years now and 25GB for free is as good as it gets, and now with the desktop app it the perfect solution for me, even the new 7GB for new customers is really good. But I am looking forward to see whats Google's version is like...
