I just installed Windows 8.1, kind of thinking, hoping, whatever, that by now you would have solved some of the issues, but I was wrong:

- Skydrive still does not update to it's online content automatically, neither is there a "button" or something else to encourage it to do so,

- neither is one able to email anything from Skydrive, except useless links to documents.. which by the way raise heaps of access rights issues.
