Wonder if Apple will announce an iDisk replacement in iCloud at WWDC... 

This transition to iCloud from MobileMe is going to be a major pain in the butt.

MobileMe has worked well for linking my Macs, iPad and iPhones.

I make great use of iDisk and like it better than DropBox.

This pisser is that I have to move to Lion and lose all my Rosetta apps, many of which have no new alternative.

Why do Windows users still get to use XP and we have to move up to Lion?

So the next couple of weeks are going to be a pain in the you know what.

Other than Quicken, what do you use that still doesn't have a modern alternative?

You say that as though using XP is some kind of privilege. 

My office hasn't moved to Lion yet, so I'll likely lose my Mobile Me (soon to be iCLoud) syncs here. I'm not happy with being pushed. Hard to push back though. :(

A few days ago the email server stopped accepting my password for my mac.com email address, when I access it from a computer running Leopard.

I was under the impression that mac.com addresses would still work, if the person set up an iCloud account under Lion (which I have).

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm in the same boat....I have an original intel iMac with SL (not able to upgrade to Lion). Yet I have an iP4s and and iPad2. So iCloud will work for two of my three Apple products. Sold my original MacBook, too.

Having said this, the answer to your question is....Apple has limited resources and I applaud them to focus on the future of technology as opposed to directing resources to "legacy" systems. It makes for better products overall.

I will just have to eventually buy an 11" MBA when my iMac gives up the ghost.

You can use iCloud mail, contacts, and calendars with Snow Leopard and any previous version of OS X and iOS... 

I was none too happy with Apple over the loss of the iDisk functionality but have moved over to free variations of Google Drive, Box.com, and Dropbox.  Obviously not as seamless but iDisk was but saving the $99 a year and I have no confidence if any of Apple's cloud products going forward.  I am using iTunes match but how long will that last before they shutter that and the rest of their rather sad iCloud offerings (e.g iWork) for something else or nothing at all?

That's a little too pessimistic, isn't it?

Canvas.

There is nothing comparable, at least for my needs.

Suggestions welcome, BTW, but I'm stuck in Snow Leopard.
