Default Microsoft Opens Limited Public Beta for Live Mesh

http://www.liveside.net/blogs/main/...first-look.aspx

"So at 5 minutes after 9pm, I navigated to www.mesh.com, logged in with my Windows Live ID, and was off and running. First order of business (after accepting the terms), was to add a couple of devices and synch some folders. The download was 1.57mb and installed in less than 2 minutes, by unofficial count. After adding a laptop, I created a folder and, by right clicking on it, transformed it into a Live Mesh folder...Note that once the folder is a Live Mesh Folder, it turns blue (the Live Mesh guys like blue!) So now on to the laptop, where again, I added it to the mesh, and synched the folder I created."



I heard a little bit about Mesh at the recent MVP Summit, but I didn't realize it was going to be going to a limited public beta so quickly - this article has some of the basics. Where does Mesh begin and FolderShare end? I haven't the foggiest idea - they seem like overlapping technologies in many ways. I guess we'll see! There's lots of great speculation in this article as well.
