And without a thick client, you wouldn't be able to automatically sync your files, as you'd have to fire up the browser everytime which just breaks the experience of automatic syncing to the cloud.

This requirement breaks Live Mesh a bit for me because I would like to use it to sync files between my PCs that I consider confidential and don't want on a server. Live Mesh is also thick client, keeping with Microsoft's tradition of building Windows apps and also keeping somewhat in tradition with Groove. MobileMe is pretty much all web-based AJAX.
