I think one of the most important aspects of iCloud is that it enables iOS devices to cut the USB cord to a Mac/PC.
I've got friends who hate using iTunes on a PC and therefore never considered iPhones. I've got relatives who barely use / don't have computers as well.
I also know some who own iPads / iPhones and NEVER sync after initial activation.
All of these users will be served with iCloud. This will further enable sales.

10.4 is still the best OS. I'm sorry, but it's true.

I was quite partial to 10.3. 10.4 started the feature bloat.

This will no doubt prompt negative response but there's very little music I listen too these days - must be getting old!. I have 100GB of music ranging from the classics, jazz, blues, rock (sans rap) and the only music I routinely enjoy is the same old stuff when exercising - Fleetwood Mac, CCR, Stones, Duke, Ella. We just drove 1700 miles over 4 days and not once did we listen to music (we did play some Great Courses). I guess iCloud isn't for me.

I'm with you. Meh is all I can say to cloud storage for music.
Then I assume music itself is 'meh' to you.
Some of the other free syncing that iCloud seems to offer could be useful if I hadn't already set them up with Google
Send Google a message: Leave.

I see the logic of the cutting the cord thing. Why should everyone have to have a PC, anyway?

can you even run modern browsers in 10.3/10.4, i.e. browsers that will let you long on to the bank and pay bills, trade stocks, use paypal?

yeah, still running 10.4.11 on my C2D MBP with FF 3.6.17 and Safari 4.1.3. Both run everything I need on the interwebs.

I'm not dissing Apple. Everyone with Apple stock wants them to make money. It's just capitalism.

My brother had to get a newer browser to log into a Citrix interface on the GF's G4 mini. 10.4.x would not cut it.
