I got into mesh before this and I live in Canada.

Of course I needed to sign up through their developer site, but I got, dang it!

The only thing I wish is that there was a way to have just the file sync rather than adding the remote capability to the computer.

What are the ports this thing needs, just 80/443?  Would be great to sync back and forth to work but I think that my corporations will shut it down.

Yep a big fat ACCESS DENIED.  Falls under big brothers category of.....

"Computing/Internet;Remote Access;Personal Network Storage;Interactive Web Applications".

Oh well.

@Snakedoctor1

Yep. Just the normal ports. Sorry that your corporation blocks it. Have you tried using just the Live Desktop web page at work? (You'd miss syncing your work computer's files but could at least get some of the benefits of access to your synced files from other computers and remote access to those other computers)

JUST RELEASED

Looks like they only upped the number of users and eliminated the requirement to go through Microsoft Connect.  At least that was their official announcement that just came out.

Yeah, that attempt was via just the web site.  Proxy category I am sure.  We cant get webmail of any kind either.  Security is security.

@Snakedoctor1

Sometimes security is security. Sometimes it's just "make it annoying and people think we're doing our job" I don't know which you're dealing with but I've seen the latter far too often to assume security admins are competent just because they're busy.

Or as politicians dealing with crises was described on Yes, Prime Minister...

We must do something.

This is something.

Therefore we must do this.

"you must be willing to change your Windows operating system region and language setting to EN-US"

This is a pretty lame work around...but I suppose that it works. If so, shouldn't everything that is US only under the Live umbrella work if you do this? IS MS approving that method? Like I said...lame.

I don't blame MS though...after all, look at the witch hunt that the EU has going on against them...I'd be doing the same...why risk another investigation.

Ok - I have to admit when you started talking about this a few months back it seemed cryptic and well not so possibly important...

I have put this in and started using it and I have to say I have not been this impressed since MS released Live Writer.. It actually just works......

You have to devote some time to this with Leo on Windows Weekly...

Now that it is out people need to know about it....and the fact its not just another MS copy.... but it really does what it says... Remote desktop via SSL - hello... that is awesome... FOR FREE!!

Another week should tell the story thou.... we will see..

Now what MS really needs is a set of videos to go with it to describe how to setup etc... so more can easily get it up and running..

I would love to hear discussion on the security aspects also..

It's about time!!!!!!!!!

@bburzycki

The thing to remember is this is just the sample app for the platform.

Paul did cover it on Windows Weekly when it came out. I suspect we'll see more interest on the TWIT network shows when Mac support ships.
