Two things they could do/have done to perfect the transition:

1) Keep homepage – its old and quaint, but it works. (I can get to it via my main MobileMe interface (old @Mac.com, but not one of my family pack @me.com sub accounts).

2) Keep both the @mac.com and @me.com email addresses like Google does for Gmail and Googlemail. Maybe in the interface people could chose which would be the main and and which is just an alias. Mac users V Window users?

Honestly, I always wanted .Mac because of the @mac.com email, it was so cool! But now, that @me.com isn’t convincing me anymore, especially with all the problems described above..

Apple’s dropping too much stuff too fast

I don’t like them dropping the “mac” (in Mac OS X), dropping the little apple (in the command buttton), dropping the little apple again (in the iPod USB cable), and dropping the @mac (from MobileMe).
I mean, are they gonna stop sending the stickers too?

Apple is trying to get to the bottom of my issues that will most certainly help others having similar problems. I already spent hours working with an Apple Senior support engineer.

Apple seems to be working hard to solve issues for all users.

I suspect a different type of “fire” will be hitting Apple’s MobileMe division soon if things don’t work themselves out soon, as in “here’s your walking papers now beat it” fire.

I wouldn’t assume that hasn’t already happened given that the person at the top has changed already. Speaking of which, it’s Eddy not Eddie.

Apple has never been as forthcoming with information as some would like them to be; in fact, no company ever is, except perhaps on extremely rare occasions. The problem is: historically, when companies “confess” the way people want them to, it actually has a negative effect on business. The individual person may appreciate the candor but Wall Street hates it and the Press, as ever, blow everything out of proportion in order to sell more papers/advertisements. Publicly traded corporations are beholden to their investors, not to the people that purchase their products (who aren’t also investors). One of modern life’s little hypocrisies.

If you don’t want to post updates, then tell us that. Most people don’t scour blogs for updates. Regular updates, even if they’re “hang in there, we’re working it!” will go a long way to us who are willing to forgive.
