First Looks at Microsoft's New "Live Mesh" Platform
technirvana writes "Microsoft's Live Mesh service launched today as an invite-only 'technology preview.' It is Microsoft's attempt to tie all of our data together. Live Mesh synchronizes data across multiple devices (currently just Windows computers, but theoretically it will extend to mobile and other devices in the future) as well as to a web desktop that exists in the cloud. It can sync data across devices used by a single users, as well as create shared spaces for multiple users." And since it's run by Microsoft, you know you can trust it.
Why was this even modded up? Anyone who says one platform has zero uses is just a psuedointellectual and pending on the situation either anti-Microsoft, anti-Google, anti-Linux or anti-Apple...of course the former is what it's in style apparently. I run Windows Vista x64, my server runs Linux, and I have a Google account. I used to have an iPod but now I have a Zune. Fanboys lose all credibility with statements like "you should avoid all MS products." If you are going to post such things you are contributing nothing to the conversation but libel; then again I guess we'd only have half the number of comments on any given Microsoft news.
No Sharepoint isn't really the same and anyone forced to use Sharepoint will agree it's pretty shit.
