I work "for" the dark-side -- not "on" the dark side.

actually one of the nicest features in windows is that you can type 
ftp://username:password@server.domain/ into your IE address bar and 
they should then be able to drag and drop use it in the same way we do 
this in Mac OSX by using Apple-K

If iDisk has an ftp server then every windows user (from win2k 
onwards???) can use it. I haven't used iDisk much.

I don't know too much about iDisk, but I know it uses WebDAV to mount 
the remote directory on your desktop, so I am thinking that iDisk is a 
very standard remote directory tree.
