Why should you care...
Mesh as it exists right now is just FolderShare and RemoteDesktop rolled in to one package. I've been using it now for a couple of weeks. I've also used FolderShare and getDropbox.com
The thing that interests me most about mesh as it exists right now is the ability to remote into one of my machines, drag a file into one of the mesh enabled folders and within seconds, that file is available to me anywhere.
Is it groundbreaking? Not in its current state; but there is a lot of promise. Imagine being able to remotely sync back to outlook for those of you without Exchange servers. Or imagine a PocketPC app whose data is stored on a shared mesh folder.
For example, anyone who has used any of the diet logging apps knows the pain of entering every new food's nutritional information. With a mesh back end, if I entered the info for a Wendy's double stack with cheese (mmmmmm wendy's) it would be available to any other Mesh subscribers.
