ICloud has 85 million users?

Not sure how many of them are paying customers but the number is huge. The biggest surprise for me among all the other numbers.

Does this affect dropbox and/or other providers? Existing customers might not stop using them but new customer acquisition could be a problem?

I think if you have iOS or Lion you are automatically included in that number.

Not at all. That's opt-in.

DropBox and iCloud address different needs. I use both :-) DropBox for sharing document and work stuff with others, iCloud for personal life

Really? Don't the use cases overlap? Like I said I don't think existing users will switch or stop using dropbox since they are already hooked and/or invested.
