Cloud Computing App Changing its Name: SkyDrive's New Name Will be OneDrive

It is challenging to write an update to an informatics book that discusses the latest trends in technology.  For example, I found out today that SkyDrive's name is changing to OneDrive.  The change is the result of a trademark dispute with British Sky Broadcasting. You can read more about the dispute at http://www.pcworld.com/article/2045634/microsoft-to-rename-skydrive-after-losing-trademark-suit.html

This is at the same time that Georgia College is rolling out Office 365 and SkyDrive to faculty, staff, and students.  I worry that the name change will be confusing to some.
