Hi Preet,
Live Mesh let you select any folder on your PC (or Mac) to sync. You could choose to sync it to the cloud or not and you could share the folder with others. They could then sync it to their computers. If you chose not to sync to the cloud you could peer-to-peer share gigabytes of data for nothing. It gave a truly peer-to-peer sync solution. SkyDrive, if I understand it correctly, only syncs the "SkyDrive" folder to your PC - you can't choose different folders on your PC. Also if you share a folder with someone the folder doesn't sync to their computer. It's not a good Live Mesh replacement. I think that's the basic difference. Cheers. James.

But can you tell me how live mesh is different to the other cloud technologies like skydrive/drop box etc?

It's a bit of a bugger as I make heavy use of peer-to-peer sharing with colleagues in the office and SkyDrive, the anointed successor, doesn't have this feature. Can anyone suggest a good replacement for the peer-to-peer folder sharing feature of Live Mesh? Happy New Year! James. -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland
