Microsoft's new Live Mesh (available as a limited technology preview) combines hosted services for storage, sharing files and peer-to-peer connections to allow multiple different devices to work together and users to access updated applications from anywhere. Live Mesh puts you at the center of your digital world, seamlessly connecting you to the people, devices, programs, and information you care about - available wherever you happen to be. The design goals for Live Mesh are to have ... ... your devices work together ... your data and applications available from anywhere ... the people you need to connect with just a few clicks away for sharing and collaborating ... the information you need to stay up-to-date and always be available Mesh achieves these design goals by combining the power of "cloud services", with the convenience and rich experience of your many devices.
