Mary Jo Foley meldet, das Microsoft seinen neuen Dienst Live Mesh Ende des Monats in den externen Betatest geben will.

Microsoft selbst versucht die etwas vagen Äußerungen zu Live Mesh zu konkretisieren. Unter der Überschrift “A killer app on the Horizon? – Live Mesh and the future of synchronized storage” schreiben sie:

Just imagine the possibilities enabled by centralized configuration and personalization and remote control of all your devices from just about anywhere. Just imagine the convenience of unified data management, the transparent synchronization of files, folders, documents, and media. The bi-directional synchronization of arbitrary feeds of all kinds across your devices and the Web, a kind of universal file synch.

Just imagine the possibilities of unified application management across the device mesh, centralized, Web-based deployment of device-based applications. Imagine an app platform that’s cognizant of all of your devices. Now, as it so happens, we’ve had a team at Microsoft working on this specific scenario for some time now, starting with the PC and focused on the question of how we might make life so much easier for individuals if we just brought together all your PCs into a seamless mesh, for users, for developers, using the Web as a hub.

Ich denke, man darf gespannt sein auf die konkrete Umsetzung
