Microsoft Launches Live Mesh

Live Mesh puts allows you to share and synchronise files online. All you need is a valid Windows Live ID.

	All your devices working together No more e-mailing attachments to yourself. Instead, synchronize the information you need across all your devices. The most up-to-date versions will be at hand when you need them—at home, at the office, and on the go. Just install the Live Mesh software on each device. Then add folders to your mesh. Folders are automatically synchronized, always available. See "devices working together" in action.
	Access from anywhere Anything you add to Live Mesh is available from anywhere, including the web from your Live Desktop. Your Live Desktop comes with 5 GB of free storage, and can be used from most web browsers. Need a program that's only on your home PC? With Live Mesh, access to all your devices—and any programs on those devices—is at your fingertips, no matter where you are. See "anywhere access" in action.
	Simple to share Easily share files and photos with friends, family, and colleagues—invite them to a folder. Everyone is kept up to date because files can be synchronized automatically with all your devices and all their devices. Update documents, post comments, or send instant messages, all right from the folder. The Live Mesh bar helps you connect instantly with other folder members. See "simple to share" in action.
	Stay informed Keep track of all the activities in your mesh. See the online status of friends and colleagues, find out who has updated which files or folders, post and read comments, and check the status of your devices. News about your mesh is easy to access. You can view news items in the notifier, from the mesh bar, and on the Live Mesh website—available whenever, wherever you are. See "stay informed" in action.
	Protection you know Your mesh is password-protected with your Windows Live ID, so only you have access to it. When you share a folder with family and friends, they sign in with their own Windows Live ID to access it. All file transfers are protected using Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the same technology your online bank uses.
