InformationWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft's software plus services platform, Live Mesh, is now available to anyone in the United States, the company announced Wednesday. Microsoft later in the day changed its position on this and said it was only doubling the number of testers from 10,000 to 20,000. See the update at the bottom of this story.
Live Mesh is Microsoft's biggest bet yet on a strategy known as "software plus services." A combination of client software, services, and developer tools, Live Mesh will let users and developers automatically or manually synchronize data among devices and to the Web, share content, remotely access Internet-connected devices, create Web apps that are accessible offline, and client apps that connect to Web services.
