O wow! Can't wait!

I really, really r-e-a-l-l-y love this product. It's THE solution of synchronising data.

Thanks for the heads up. I also hope you will have an option in the future a la "Always just install updates without user intervention". Why? Mesh updates are simply a major pain right now. I have about 10 devices in my Mesh, and when there is an update I have to manually approve it on all 10 machines, which seems completly unnecessary to me. Also, this update will be quite tricky: Some of the computers I have in my Mesh are in different countries, and I actually use Mesh to remotely access them. If I understand this correctly, I won't be able to update them without actually going to those places, right? After all, if remote desktop stops working once the update is available, I won't be able to access those computers to approve the update, correct?

So, long story short, an option that continually updates all devices without users consent (and without logging into the computer) is very much needed :)

Live Mesh: Required Update To Live Mesh Coming Next Week

Is Live Mesh the right software for my scenario? I support two tiny retail businesses for my dad. I want to keep some of his company PC files in sync with my work laptop. I can know his password and have full access to all his PCs, but I don't want him to have access to my work PC. I also want to join other "meshs" at the same time like my personal mesh, and other friends and businesses I support using their account(s). I want to be logged in to several mesh accounts at once and sync with different people, who have no access to my PC, only to the folders we're syncing with. They also shouldn't access eachother's files or know eachother exist. Will Mesh security grow to support this? or should I look for a different technology or continue to do it manually? His accountant has a similar need. She wants access to his sync folder, but can only use Live Desktop, because if she installs the client on her PC with his account, then he gets access to her PC. She has several accounting clients too and it would be nice if she could securly sync with them all. Maybe even have these extras as a paid service?

Live Mesh is great as is. Seeing more features & functionality coming is wonderful. I've written a short post on one of the scenarios of using Live Mesh that I think has not yet been covered by many: <a href="http://blog.reactive-software.com/live-mesh-your-ultimate-home-backup-solution/">Live Mesh - your ultimate home backup solution</a>

Looking forward to the update!

Thanks for the early info, as a Live Mesh Beta user, I'd expect such info in the announcements newsgroup and/or in my inbox!

@RayMetz,

If I understand correctly the scenarios you're interested in, I think you could accomplish all of it with Live Mesh by sharing out different Live Mesh folders in your mesh with different people (e.g., different folders with friends, family, or clients). You can choose what to share with whom, and once additional membership roles are enabled, you'll have finer-grained control over what level of access each member has to the data in those shared folders (e.g., read-only).

If you have questions, or want to talk over scenarios in more detail, we have an active forum community you might want to look in on: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/LiveMesh/threads/
