it's not a sloppy piece of garbage as you so idiotically state. people like you peeve me off so much. it's a NEW damn product and only 1% of the people are having issues. that's pretty damn good if you ask me.
The 1% figure is NOT the number of people having problems, it's the number of people who cannot get their email. There are many, many other problems besides that one. I pity the people who used their .Mac email addresses for work and who now are cut off from the rest of the world. I'd venture to say from your sanctimonious tone that you would be screaming bloody murder if your email was down and it affected your work.
sorry your data was erased and/or lost....but that's why they invented time machine or other data management/backup functions.
And thank goodness I used it before loading this beta-quality software because it saved me.
get off your high horse thinking that because YOU have an issue, then you need to try and ramp up a million man march against MM. it's ONE-FREAKING-PERCENT! not 2, not 3, not 4%.......just 1%. every product out in the damn economy has at least a 1% margin of error. MM is no different.
Again, the 1% is for email, not MM problems. Since Apple barely even acknowledges there are issues, we have no idea of what the percentage really is, but since it contains every single person using Outlook and Exchange (since that doesn't work for anybody), the number is assuredly much, much higher. Overload servers and spotty up time the first day or two are things most people could live with as start up pains. But it amazingly appears as if they never even tested basic syncing functionality with the biggest email server on the planet - that is mind blowing. And this from the company mocking Microsoft's Active-Stink at the roll out. I won't even get into the outrage people felt over the instant push vs up to 15 minutes or the people in Great Britain getting the credit cards charged, but they all add up to a product that was rushed out the door to meet the iPhone launch, not when it was ready.
I'm sure that eventually they'll work the kinks out. We'll see how long it takes and how many people give up on it before they do. Of course, if they can't make syncing with Exchange work (and their are reports are their forums that their support people are now starting to tell people it won't be supported) than a large chunk of people won't be able to use it. But, hey, since you aren't having problems, feel free to trumpet to the world how great it is.
