According to the keynote, there are 2.2 million iTools users. It is a
good thing that ISP's don't have to actually use your logic when
purchasing resources (disk/bandwidth). True, 95TB is Apple's
exposure/risk, but I would assume that current demand on their system is
quite a bit smaller. Besides, surely they are getting the Xservers at
cost ;-)

Can you honestly expect apple to give away 95 terabytes of storage?

5 million Mac OS X users would mean 5 million iDisk users if Apple does
not charge for .Mac services. I'm a developer who was considering
providing functionality that helps integrate my application with iDisk.
Now that Apple is charging $100, how many potential customers for this
feature did I just lose?
Can Apple expect to get more than 10% of its OS X customers to pay $100
for .Mac when only about 10% of its customers have payed for OS X (if 5
million = 20%, 800k units last quarter = 3.2 million units this year,
80% keep OS X = 2.5 million users of OS X did not pay).
Any other developers considering iDisk functionality in their
applications?
