there is nothing surprising here. they provided info to the gov when they were forced by court order or by other means the gov has, like any company in the world has to do. nothing news worthy here and anybody that thought they were safe because it is the private sector are morons. this is nothing new and has been going on since way before internet existed. if you want to protect information do it yourself don't expect others to do it for you.
but anyway if the NSA or even if it had been the local city police that asked for information on you, chances are you deserve it and even if you don't the chances that any gov agency goes as far as to request data on your skydrive or the likes are smaller than the chances you have to win the jackpot at the state lottery.
this really is a complete non issue for 199% of XB users or any MS users (and I know I used 199%) that's without saying that even if they did collect info on every single joes, most of it would be completely useless. I wouldn't care a second even if the NSA was activelly watching all my moves right now they would see my beautiful naked self typing YEAAAAAHHH.... they would get a bunch of pictures of my dog and my GF, with plenty of word files and excel charts on things they have no use for.... my backup files etc on my skydrive YEAAAAAAHHHH.... I feel so unsafe right now lol.... anyway log in in a few minutes if you wanna see some live porn and you are watching me NSA.... YEAAAAAAAAH.... and then maybe a little pot smoking session YEAAAAAHHHHH.... really people are worried for not much.... a couple centuries ago you had as much privacy than a room field with your entire familly from kids to grand parents.... knowing that some NSA perv might be watching is the last of my worries.... and it should be the same for most decent people out there... it is of zero concern to the majority....
