Live Mesh has the vision

Microsoft finally took the wraps off Live Mesh and this one's going to be important. It's important because it takes all that information living on multiple devices and screens and allows it flow seamlessly from place to place and device to device. It's a concept we've talked about for a while (latest report here). I've said before that whoever controls the sync point for content between screens and devices is going be a big winner. Live Mesh has nailed the vision, the challenge is how quickly they can implement this into something real and how many platforms beyond those that Microsoft offers directly they can embrace. I'm going to install the beta in a little bit and report back on how well it performs for the desktop aspects.

Good video and demo of Ray Ozzie talking about Live Mesh here. Demo of the Live Mesh app here.
