Yeah right, they can't even make MobileMe work despite people inexplicably throwing gobs of money at them to do just that. How many years have they had to fix that garbage? Although I guess they don't need to when the expectations are so low: the last satisfied customer I talked to said "It works perfectly, other than occasionally deleting all my contacts."
(I say this as someone who's given .Mac and MobileMe one shot each and almost shot myself in the face as a result)
