Ten things to know about Microsoft’s Live Mesh

Mary Jo, over at ZDNet, just did a wonderful post last week on the newly released Microsoft "Software + Services platform for synchronization and collaboration" (if I may quote her description.).

Anyway click on the title of this post to be directly taking to that blog entry. Ten things to know about this new Live Mesh service:

• The definition


• The Codename(s)


• The team


• The buzzwords


• The guts


• What about sync?


• What about Silverlight?


• Live Mesh-ism


• Consumer vs. business


• The timing

All covered in her wonderful post. She really takes you through what you should know about this new Live Mesh Service offering. What I want you to think about after / during your reading of her post is * Dynamics AX / CRM * and how different aspects of the business solution and instance for customers could benefit for such a Live Mesh Service. Think about the possibilities, if this continues to get expanded upon.

The biggest hole I see Not covered is security. Anyway very interesting on the future aspects of these types of Software+Services Mesh'es. Closer and Closer to more Corporate Hybrid Offerings...

Check back soon! I have a great post coming soon, from an interview I am doing with two Top level Microsoft Business Solution Execs.
