‘Live Mesh’ Unveiled!

Finally!

In April 2006, I decided to leave my job on Messenger Server to join a completely new start-up team within Microsoft. It was a pretty big change for me, as I went from a well established team with millions of users, to being one of the first three developers on a team with nothing but a dream of what was to be. I couldn’t talk about what the team’s charter was, as it was all under wraps, even internally within the company. My business card had the somewhat cryptic team name.

Exactly two years and three weeks later, we are finally launching a Tech Preview and I can finally talk about (some of) the stuff I’ve been working on for the past two years. What a relief! I can’t believe it’s been such a long time.

I won’t talk about what I think Live Mesh is yet. You’ll find a great deal of information on the Team Blog, as well as videos on Channel 9 this week (Ray’s interview is a good one). I can’t do justice to what Mesh is by excerpting, so please go read our GM Amit’s post. It gives a good idea as to what exactly Mesh is.

We’re only launching a Tech Preview at the moment, so there’s a limited number of invites. Hopefully you’re well connected enough to get someone to share with you. If you’re already provisioned in the system, feel free to share stuff with me by inviting me to a “LiveFolder.”  I’d love to see what people are using Mesh for!

Mesh it up!!
