MobileMe launch pushed back two hours
Yesterday, we noticed that the .Mac status page listed a MobileMe launch date and time of July 9th between 6 p.m. until 12 a.m. PT. Tonight, there seems to have been a change. As of this writing, the .Mac status page says, "MobileMe Launch: 7/9/2008, 8pm-2am PT -- As part of the MobileMe launch, www.mac.com will be taken offline at 8pm PT on Wednesday, July 9th."
So, we've got to wait two more hours? Oh, no! Actually, we'd rather the folks at Apple take the time necessary to do things right. Oh, who are we kidding ... we want MobileMe!
Stay tuned here for the latest information on this transition.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Nice! Crap, probably needs a restart though.

did anyone try this yet?

Yup, Installed perfectly. However, Mail now crashes on startup and the PrefPanel doesn't load. :-) So I would recommend waiting.
