Since I am suppose to be on vacation this week...I decided to get "The List" at least started.....so while I was having some down time at Star Bucks this morning I decided to log into Live Mesh and see what its all about....after about 5 mins or so...I started thing of all the uses I can use Live Mesh for......such a simple concept.....with unlimited potential.....glad I took the time to indulge myself today with Live Mesh....

I just received this email re. update to Live Mesh

The Live Mesh team is pleased to announce the release of our next update, available later today. We are making Live Mesh available to more people and we've greatly streamlined the sign-up process. We've also made a number of general performance improvements. See below for the details, and thank you for using Live Mesh.

Version numbers

· Live Mesh software: 0.9.3103.9

· Live Desktop: 0.9.3103.9

• Raised the limit on the total number of customers we'll allow to access the Live Mesh Tech Preview.
• Expanded availability: you can sign up directly, with no waiting list, if your country/region is the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand.
• Removed the limit on the number of Live Mesh invitations you have. Invite new friends and family members to the Live Mesh Tech Preview.
• For our customers in countries/regions other than those above, we've greatly simplified the waiting list process. You no longer need to sign up through Microsoft Connect. You can sign in with your Windows Live ID on www.mesh.com, click Sign Up, and you'll automatically be notified once Live Mesh is available in your country/region.
• Improved the performance of peer-to-peer synchronization.
• General performance improvements.

User Account Control (UAC) notice

If you're running Windows Vista and recently turned off UAC, you may have to turn on UAC to install this update. Please see the Live Mesh forums for further information.

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.

To get even more from Live Mesh, share folders with friends and family. Simply open a folder you've added to Live Mesh, click Members in the mesh bar, and then click Add.^* Your friends will be able to access your folder as well as install Live Mesh on their devices.

 On the previous update they added a new feature which meant that you could remove the Live Desktop from a folder's sync list. This effectively means that you can sync a folder between two PCs without the 5Gb limit (as the limit only applys to the Live Desktop).

 You can use this to pass large files across the internet without needed online space to do it. 

 So if I understand, the new update that came out 30 July means the 5GB limit is on the web folders, but if it's stored on a PC, no limit.  Would that seem correct?
