Live Mesh's limitation

tShao — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:55:00 GMT

According to a recent post in the official blog of Live Mesh, the following is a quick summary of the upper bounds the team has tested.

Size of all contents in a single Live Folder is 10GB (however there's still the 5GB quota which limits how much you can synchronize with Live Desktop)
Individual file size: 2GB
Items (file or folders) per Live Folder: 100,000
Members per Live Folder: 200
Number of Live Folders per user: 200
Number of devices per user: 100

Below is the limitation of the file format.

files leading by ~
desktop.ini
thumbs.db
hidden files
Windows system folder
desktop folders (e.g. C:\Users\[myusername]\Desktop in Vista, or C:\Documents and Settings\[myusername]\Desktop)
files and folders in portable desk

A (potential) good news is that Live Mesh team has promised the exceeding of these boundaries in a visible future.

Enjoy~

IE8 changed it mind

tShao — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:41:00 GMT

Generally speaking, IE8 will by default display the most standard-compatible appearance but not the "IE7 standard" compatible mode, instead of forcing developers to use an "opt-in" metadata to explicitly call the standard mode.

The amazing announcement is no doubt a big strike to the world of web development. It must has something to do with the recent EU intervention and Opera's antitrust complaint. But anyway, this engages us to do the best thing, even if it could be painful at the beginning.
