For the record, all you little Microsoft kiss-ups, SkyDrive has been around for a very, very long time.
Not a "very, very long time". It is only 2 years old as it was introduced in 2007 to a very limited set of countries. And it was only last year (2008) that it became available for everybody.

And guess what? It's open to anyone in your network.
Sorry but you are wrong!
You can have private folders (just for yourself).
You can share a folder with just 1 contact in Messenger.
You can share a folder with more than 1 contact in Messenger.
You can share a folder with all your contacts in Messenger.
You can share a folder with everybody (even with people not in your contact list on Messenger).
You can have subfolders too...
And to take your photo-example: if you upload photos to SkyDrive the people, who have access to the folder where the photos are, can view the photos in a fotoalbum/slideshow. You can add comments, tag people, etc. This is called Windows Live Photos (which is part of SkyDrive).
You can share and work with multiple people on the same Office documents from within your browser. This is called Office Web Apps (part of SkyDrive).
You can share browser bookmarks if you wish, directly from within your browser. This is called Windows Live Favorites (part of SkyDrive).
You can download not only individual files from a SkyDrive folder, but also the whole folder at once as a zip file.
etc...
Thus please check your facts and actually try something out before trying to proof us wrong with something you have read somewhere on the net written by people who didn't checked things themselfs.
EDIT: Also see screenshot in previous post.
