Sorry, but the story just doesn't hold water.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for Obama's transition team to not have known about this. Especially given the manner in which Obama has used Internet technology and mobile telephony, etc.
The Democrats are whining because that is what they do best. That and blaming others for their shortcomings, ignorance and just plain old stupidity.
But, of course, the advocacy/adversary media will spin the story as it did.
Of course they knew. The thing is, they couldn't do anything about it before they were officially in office. Bush was adamant about making sure there was a very smooth transition. It isn't like they walked in and said, "What? I've never seen this before!" It is yet another stunt as part of the three ring circus that is the obama administration. And a way to show how inept Bush was. In reality things were done to protocol and there was no need for staffers to check their personal email or go on facebook while at work because they were actually WORKING. This time around those people are going to need something to do while Obama wanders aimlessly around trying to strong arm reporters and chatting away on his blackberry.
