And as for renaming, I ran into a glitch where it got stuck in file rename mode. Reloading the page fixed that issue. @13: I just tested uploading and renaming: uploading seems to work fine for me, though MobileMe wouldn’t let me upload a folder through the web app; I could only select files for some inexplicable reason.

This is a good point. However, in idisk, I am not able to "rename" files or folders. I also cannot upload folders. I hope there's a fix very soon.

"Share File" is not longer an option when selecting a file on your iDisk. The feature appeared in the original MobileMe video that loads when you log in, but has now been chopped from the new video.

I was the lead developer of iTools/.Mac HomePage from 2000 to 2001, and in july 2000, you could re arrange photo albums in HomePage using Netscape 4.7/IE 4 and in the following year you could re arrange and move pages between sites in a column view widget that was loading it's content without refreshing the page!!

I'm borderline on the value of .Mac and was really hoping that Apple were going to step up their game for MobileMe with both better performance and better applications along with support for the PC. Unless things improve significantly, I'll be hard pressed to justify renewing my subscription in a couple of months, let alone expand it to include the rest of my family.
