Let's put the previous comments to one side and display the other utterly disgusting mess that Apple created with moving from .Mac to MobileMe (I'm a Mac user @ $HOME and a PC user @ work). You had no notice, unlike Hotmail Classic or the new Hotmail Live, you had no decision point, you were UPGRDED w/o permission, explanation, or anything that made sense. My wife sat for 2 hours away from her Mac trying to figure how to sign in, only to finally get a pop-up that says "We don't support IE7, try Safari or FireFox. OK, so IE7 ain't supported, that would have been nice to know, FireFox is mainstreamed that's OK, but like massive DUOH Safari, if she were in front of Safari she'd be using her Mac.

To make matters worse, you now have more email addresses, yourname@mac.com AND yourname@me.com, and YOU have to decide which one to send from, which will be at best problematic, and at worse, cause some folks email to probably not make it through some firewalls or PGP-signed private emails.

Apple, you bunged this up in a right mess. Fess up, you'd look so much better than the Redmond-lot if you just did and said that, and professed you're going to fix it. Going Ostrich won't work.
