The update a few days ago expanded the country list.

As for developing to the platform, look for announcments at the Microsoft PDC in October.

I wonder if they will ever use Silverlight for the entire interface for Livemesh seeming as they boasted on how it can act like a virtual application.

Live Mesh is looking like it could be the file sync solution I've been waiting for. Right now, I use Chronosync to keep my documents folder up to date between my tower and macbook pro (with mobileme and evernote happily syncing everything else). If mesh is more seamless and transparent, I'll move to it once it's out of beta.

Curiously, I can now (and have done) sign up to Live Mesh in the UK, even though I technically shouldn't be able to. I haven;t had to change my region settings, either.

So far, this is looking good, but I'm eager to see if they can develop some really unique apps/uses on top of Mesh.

I read a while ago that there was an intention for future versions of Windows to remember settings like desktop background, font sizes, etc. across any machine, so that wherever you logged on to Windows, you'd have 'your' setup right there.

I'm now wondering if this is the future intent for Mesh.

You don't want to think of Live Mesh as Groove.

There's a good developer level presentation of the architecture at www.mesh.com/.../TourDeveloper.aspx

@Paul

Performance isn't impacted when sharing 25 GB of files? In the Groove 3.x days, memory and CPU performance were pretty heavy when sharing more than a couple GB of files. It would be pretty cool if they fixed that limitation.

I'm still assuming, correctly, I believe, that Live Mesh is based on Groove and not Foldershare or something else.

Wow. That looks pretty elegant. Can't wait for the completed version.

For some reason I still do not have the option to do peer to peer folder sharing, and I have updated to the latest version. Anybody else having this problem?
