Whilst I can see the need or desire to have all or some of your data synchronised between multiple machines it does not work for me! Why ?
1. Because I dont have sufficient confidence in external people to securely maintain my data and personal files.
2. I dont want some idiot in the FBI or CIA who desires to see my data being able to sub poena or just snoop, my data and I have no right of redress. Apple as a US company are obliged to release information to authorities in USA who deem it necessary for interests of national security. National security is a smokescreen to hid behind the paranoia of people who fear hyped up threats e.g. WMD and Iraq !!!
3. I dont have the internet bandwidth to allow an effective and rapid data transfer to do the sync without compromise to my mail and internet use. Yes the sync can happen as a trickle feed but when my current bandwith is 1Mb max. I dont want any further compromise.
4. I can sync my own files over my network so why should I get Apple to do it for me. Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch!
I rest my case. It is NOT for me.
It may work well for others with more internet bandwidth or without a personal network.
