Windows Phone, Skydrive heaven

Updated Skydrive app released to Windows Phone Marketplace, new Skydrive app released for Windows and Mac OS X. Life should be good - I mean, get all your documents on the cloud (not an easy transition folks, you will need to move your My Documents drive to a new folder to have things flying to the sky automagically) and you could potentially access them from everywhere with a browser or even from your shiny Windows Phone running that updated Skydrive app.

Sorry to break it people, but it doesn't work like this. It seems you can only download images and sounds from Skydrive to your Windows Phone device. All those .docx, .xlxs, .pptx and .txt files you have? Forget about it. They won't download.

*sigh* Why is so hard for software companies to make Things That Just Work (TM)?

UPDATE: after six hours it's working now. Since I know of more people having this same problem, could it be that Microsoft's cloud service was overloaded? Or simply my 5GB uploads had to go through some process to be readable? Who knows. I'm sure moving to the cloud should be more assuring than this though.
