Live Mesh Is Open To All in the U.S.

Sarah Perez on July 16th, 2008

livemesh How exciting! I just blogged this news over on ReadWriteWeb:

Windows Live Mesh is Microsoft’s software+services data synchronization platform. Because of its complex nature, most people assume that file synchronization is all there is to Live Mesh, but in reality, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Microsoft has big plans for the service and syncing files between computers and the cloud is just the start. When Live Mesh launched, it was currently a closed “technical preview” (that’s Microsoft for “beta.”) But now it appears the Mesh guys have quietly opened up the platform for all of the U.S.

    But doesn't get exciting until mobile devices are included - or are they already in the US?

    so far its only Vista and XP, but mobile devices will be added in the future. Starting with the Windows Mobile platform first. I bet if you hack away at it now you can get it to work. If i can hit my corporate servers from my current phone (8525), there is no reason why a simple implementation of this would not work now.

    I was mildly disappointed it doesn't yet have a MAC version as I am having some problems with Foldershare there and was hoping this would be a good replacement.

    Robert - it blows Foldershare out of the water, I wouldn't be surprised to see Foldershare discontinued, actually. Mac should be coming really soon now - I've already seen video of it running on a Mac

    While I really like Mesh, I hope Foldershare does not go away. The other day foldershare came in handy when I was at a client site and needed a doc from desktop that was in a folder that was not a part of the mesh. In addition I didn't want to remote in to get it either. Mesh is great and I am imprewssed by it but at least I can run Foldershare on my Macbook Pro and it allows me to take it on calls occaisionally instead of my Windows laptop.
