There are a vast number of MobileMe users who now cannot migrate to iOS 5 and the icloud service because they are using Windows XP.
Please Apple, consider writing a Windows XP icloud control panel.
iPhone 4, iOS 5
Yes you are right, why would anyone install iOS5 without compatibility with a significant number of Windows XP users... It is useless without iCloud which is one of the main features of iOS5!!! 😮
Not sure if it works with the new version, but the old version files (that do work) are available here still: http://xlii.be/s/1ii
Also consider that if you are using Windows XP consider that you are using a 11 year old OS that is no longer supported by Microsoft. It is also 3 Operating Systems out of date.
I think you will find that Windows XP is still suported by Microsoft, and will be until Apirl 2014.

so I have downloaded the icloud.msi file (and verified the info is correct with orca). when I run icloud.msi, I get the message 'iCloud Control Panel requires Apple Mobile Device Support to be installed' and then informs me that it is included with iTunes 10.5 or higher. I am running iTunes 11.0.1.12. I have gone into services under admin tools and it shows Apple Mobile Device 'started'; I've stopped and restarted it. I'm running Windows XP SP3. Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Windows XP SP3 doesn't support iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Windows Vista SP2 or Later iCloud: System requirements
Quick update, my old site xlii.be has changed to 42i.co, so the link to written up solution above is now: http://42i.co/s/1ii
