While I agree that 37Signals made a good decision, I wasn't completely sold on their reasoning. Maybe I just didn't like their overuse of the word <em>can't</em>. For a team so against poisonous words, they made it sound like it was impossible. I use their tools, and providing something that degrades gracefully isn't impossible. Their interfaces aren't near the complexity of something like MobileMe. Now, on the MobileMe side I agree with you completely. It seems like more of a way for Apple to rip apart Microsoft than it does for them properly supporting browsers. But, then again, I am a huge Apple fanboy and I despise their approach to the web in most cases (im looking at you iWeb). I think in most cases they don't help the process of web standards, they just stand there as a big corporation and can do what they want. This isn't in <em>all</em> cases, but from many I have seen lately. I agree with your thought process here.

I was hoping that was it but it kept on when I was in address book and couldn't select an email address to copy. Yep, same thing happened to me.

When TAB SPACE TAB SPACE didn't check the 'remember me' box and then log me in, I was immediately turned off. Totally agree about MobileMe.
