After giving its free e-mail service a new Windows 8-inspired coat of paint with Outlook.com—which has seen more than 10 million users sign up already—Microsoft has turned its attention to cloud storage serviceSkyDrive. Over the next 24 hours, the company is rolling out a new "modern" interface for SkyDrive's online component.

While Outlook.com didn't add many new features—behind the scenes, it's pretty much identical to Hotmail—SkyDrive has picked up a bunch of new capabilities in addition to its new appearance. In the Web front-end itself, SkyDrive is now searchable, including the ability to search for text within Office documents. File handling has been streamlined, giving users the ability to select multiple files and drag and drop them to move them between folders. Sorting is also smarter; there are new ordering options and a facility to save sort options on a per-folder basis.

SkyDrive's apps are being enhanced as well. Over the next week, Microsoft is rolling out an update to the Windows and Mac OS X SkyDrive clients. The new version will be faster at uploading files to the cloud and will use less processor time when checking your system for changed files.

There are also some improvements for developers using the SkyDrive API. Applications can now upload files of any type and photos of any size to the cloud service. Microsoft has added a JavaScript-based file picker to make it easy for Web applications to save and open files from SkyDrive.

Looking into the future, Microsoft promised to include a selective synchronization feature to SkyDrive, and in a few weeks, the company will be releasing a SkyDrive application for Android.

They obviously need to do more work with the larger live tile but other than that I'm impressed at how nice a real app looks on the Windows Phone 8 home screen!

The other important information we can draw from this is that select developers have access to the Windows Phone 8 SDK.The images were found by Windows Phone Daily and they also noted the calendar tile with the comment "Monday Morning WhatsApp released Windows Phone version - Mon, Nov 28, 10 AM". 

That could mean something but the Windows Phone 7.5 version also shares that date but actually came out in late September, so we wouldn’t put too much into it.

Though nothing too revealing is shown by the images it’s sure nice to see companies like WhatsApp pushing forward on Windows Phone and we look forward to taking their new version for a spin.
