    One feature I miss from the .Mac days was Dock syncing between Mac's. It was great when setting up a new Mac, especially if you had a Mac Pro or iMac and MacBook. I also noticed when setting up a new Mac, all the accounts setup under your iCloud ID aren't automatically added. Unless I'm missing...
