Live Mesh update

Nothing serious, but I got this email yesterday and updated all the PCs:

Live Mesh Tech Preview: Version Update June 18, 2008

The Live Mesh team has been working hard to fix bugs reported by our Tech Preview users, and to include popular feature requests (such as removing the requirement that UAC be enabled in Windows Vista SP1). Below is a list of the most prominent fixes implemented in the latest Live Mesh release. Thank you for all your great feedback!

Fixes

  • Live Mesh is now available in all English-speaking countries (not just the U.S.)
  • Removed the User Account Control (UAC) requirement when installing and using Live Mesh with Windows Vista SP1
  • Index for Desktop Search now works with Live Mesh folders
  • Fixed bug where an underscore in a Hotmail account name returned an "Invalid Hotmail Address" error
  • Fixed bug with Silverlight 2 Beta 2 failing to load in Silverlight Media View
  • Fixed bug where the notifier tooltip incorrectly indicated that Live Mesh Remote Desktop was unavailable for a computer running in non-admin mode
  • Fixed bug where the Live Mesh folder icon was not displayed in the e-mail inviting someone to share a folder
  • Fixed one of the bugs that caused Live Mesh to fail to start
  • Fixed problem with Live Mesh returning errors when waking from sleep/hibernate

Did You Know?

You can install Live Mesh on multiple devices-then Live Mesh can keep all the folders in your mesh synchronized for you! To add a computer to your mesh, visit www.mesh.com from the computer you wish to add, sign in, and click Add Device on the Devices page.

This may not be such a good thing - at least the installation part.

This is a suggestion that I sent to the MESH team, what do you guys think?

Your product is coming out great one request that I have is that some of us have a Windows Home Server. Because the server is always on it will be great if we could use the home server to expand our storage space in MESH. So some big files like videos and music stay at the home server but small items stay MESH. Or even better make MESH part of the home server as a back up in case your site is down we can still access our things. This was I think more people will feel controllable saving important files in you service because they can have their own MESH server to connect to when yours is down.
