Techradar posted a story that Microsoft will be forced to rename SkyDrive



The U.K. court deemed SkyDrive to be an infringement on British Sky Broadcasting Group's (BSkyB) trademark on the word Sky where the company has channels in the U.K. called Sky Sports, Sky One and Sky Movies. In June, Microsoft filed for an appeal but decided to agree to the terms set by BSkyB yesterday instead of further ruffling feathers.If not Sky, then what? There's no word on a new name just yet for the software giant, but BSkyB is being rather gracious by letting Microsoft use SkyDrive a little bit longer for at least a reasonable period of time to allow for an orderly transition to a new brand.
