Although all this may be neat to the end user I dislike it simply on the level that there's interaction between my machine and .mac which I didn't initiate and have no control over. It's this kind of interactions with scripting thrown in that causes all kinds of security holes under Windows and I do NOT want to see this develop into the same kind of thing on OS X.
