Hey, look-- Apple's just released an "iDisk Utility", a tool which gives users lots more direct control and visibility of their iDisks. And-- in a surprise move-- it's available for Windows XP too.
So now there's a public cross-platform file-sharing system for resumes, media files, documents... you can share your iDisk (which you can password-protect) and your Public folder, which can now be accessed in a number of ways from operating systems from WinXP to MacOS 9 to anything with Web access.
I guess this means iDisk is really proving useful to people; presumably Apple wouldn't be sinking all this effort into stuff like this if nobody were using it. If I were to hazard a wild guess, and to bolster it with observations of silly movies and photo albums and web pages that people have posted using .Mac lately, I'd say that significant numbers of people are finding .Mac to be a genuinely useful service, and they're asking for it to be expanded.
Neato.
