What happens to my MobileMe Gallery when I switch to iCloud?

I have about 20 picture folders in my MobileMe Gallery.

1. What happens to those pictures when I switch to iCloud? Do I need to manually download each folder and then reload them to iCloud?

2. Gallery had a nice option of making some folders public and others private - does anyone know if this option exists in the iCloud photostream?

3. I currently have a PC (ugh! - saving to get a MAC) running Windows XP Pro - am I correct that Photostream will not work with my PC?

Many thanks for any help!!

1. Nothing happens. July, 2012 the Gallery pages will cease to exist, however.

2. There are no "gallery" options in iCloud. There are no Web hosting services at all.

3. A PC with the right reuirements for iCloud can also use the photostream features.

If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s, an iPad 2 or newer you could download iPhoto for iOS; import your albums onto the devices and use the Journal function to create a journal and post it to iCloud for friends to see. It even allows you to announce to your friends and family the new post. The images look as if they are posted on a bulletin board. After selecting an image, the view can manually view the next image by pressing the next button or view all of them in a slideshow.
