Apple's Arrogant Gamble?

i posted on official apple discussions forums - surprise surprise, got deleted...

-

'your mobileme account ends soon. move icloud today.'

that's what's written in subject bar of latest email sent apple. pretty self-explanatory , easy imagine being bellowed in monotone voice strategically placed loud speakers in cities, towns , villages across land...

although, lot of things seemingly simplistic re. apple, closer reveals devil stoking fires of burning pit apple designed pitchfork. don't use lion, i'm on snow leopard , apparently icloud runs on lion. means i'm being forced buy lion if want continue using mobileme/icloud i'm paying for.

i'm sure has been covered time , time again people in similar situations find myself unable rid bad taste left apple's arrogant gamble; being, know snow leopard users have buy lion if want continue mobileme/icloud they'd rather risk losing them utilising snow leopard making them pay more! quite staggering really.

cigar toting boffins @ apple hq - guys, there's still philistines out there using snow leopard, let's force them buy lion crippling icloud, hoorah!

it's bit fcpx not opening fcp7 files, in case seemed couldn't bothered (a third party plug-in has been made).

oh shame.

1 discontinue subscription mobileme/icloud. time take stand.

 

wouldn't have been easier switch google (or whatever prefer) rather going on diatribe icloud?
