I disagree slightly on photos. I think how the photos will work is that nothing in the current photo stream will be deleted unless you specifically delete it. Otherwise, pictures will simply expire out of the stream, but then remain on your desktops, assuming you ever put them into iPhoto or something. > I think you will be able to save documents from desktop apps to the cloud > (which will distribute) or have them just local.

The multiple account issue is a big issue and, frankly, it is not one that I expect Apple will deal with right away. You may be waiting another year for a workable solution. That they will have to do SOMETHING seems obvious. (Family iCloud?) > PS Is there any session from WWDC that really explained iCloud well?
