I think I've heard something similar to this before...oh yea! Apple's dot mac. You get file sync with your web based "iDisk" that lets you access your files from any computer. Oh and then there is dot mac's back to my mac which allows you to remote in to any of your macs. Hmm... and iPhone syncs with dot mac ... albums and galleries ... and with dot mac you can sync all your system preferences for every mac.
Mesh is ... a copy? I haven't seen one thing it promises that you can't do with dot mac. Plus it has a lot of " in the future it will... " which means now it won't. Microsoft marketing language that rarely gets executed. Remember Windows Vista Ultimate edition? They meant ulimately you pay us more.

So Gary, does Apple's dot mac sync with my xp machine? 1 thing you asked for...
Little people realize how BIG this will eventually become. And it will be the 3rd party developers and there future apps that will make it big!

Jose is right.
Also, if MS makes this FREE...or gives you 5 gigs free, and you pay for more...Apple's .Mac will be screwed. They're currently giving you 10 gigs for $100 a year - which is B.S. when comparatively small players like Box.net are giving you about that much for free right now...
MS is the one that can force Apple to be more user-friendly.
I'd use .Mac if I got 5 gigs free. But not for $100.00 a year.
The current .Mac makes me remember the wise words of Fez, " Good day, sir... I said 'Good Day!'"
None of these applications can be developed using the Live Mesh. Live Mesh is not open enough to allow the Open Source adopters to hook onto it. It is and will always be a closed source propeitary solution which will work only to further Microsoft's commercial interests. What happened to the Free Software revolution?
Live Mesh has a very heavy infrastructure behind it but it fails on so many counts that one cannot even think that it will succeed on the global scale. The problem lies in attempting to design a universal generic solution for everything and then failing miserably on all counts except some.
As a developer I fail to see how I could use this?
