I enjoyed the chat with Scott and he picked up on theen-GBCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/stevecla01/archive/2008/04/30/what-s-the-point-of-live-mesh.aspx#8446805Thu, 01 May 2008 13:34:09 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8446805Stephen Parker<p>Mesh is potentially seriously exciting and clearly points at where Microsoft are going.</p> <p>However there is a risk that the stream of apparently cross over offerings from Microsoft in the S+S space may lead to confusion rather than clarity within the user and developer communities.</p> <p>For example Live Skydrive and Office Live Workspaces, both sell themselves as a place in the cloud (services) to store your files and then be able to access these files from your on-premise tools (software). &nbsp;Add to this the API's that the Windows Live team are delivering to open up the existing Windows Live offerings.</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/stevecla01/archive/2008/04/30/what-s-the-point-of-live-mesh.aspx#8447046Thu, 01 May 2008 16:53:33 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8447046stevecla01<p>Stephen - very good and expected observations re Skydrive and OLW but given it's very early days for Live Mesh (not even a beta yet) these things will work themselves out and the confusion will fade.
