Microsoft introduced a single platform Live Mesh

    After two years of development, the first, yet preliminary version (Technology Preview) of the Live Mesh platform , the unified interface for accessing personal information from all devices owned by the user, be it laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, as well as from anywhere, was officially opened yesterday. via the web. From a technological point of view, this is a set of feeds (it doesn’t matter in which format) where all information about information, files and folders and devices of the user is exported, as well as a small program for accessing and synchronizing feeds. As for the offline component, this approach is more like Google Gears or Mozilla Prism than Adobe AIR.



    Live Mesh is an attempt by Microsoft to create a single, universal platform for synchronizing all gadgets, applications and personal information of a user in the era of the ubiquitous web. The developers set a global task: to ensure the interaction of all devices and applications with each other, access to a personal information archive, and also facilitate the possibilities of collaboration and data exchange by an order of magnitude. To solve all these problems, a unified distributed platform was designed where SaaS principles are used for file management, file sharing and synchronization.

    Registration in the system is still available by invitation only (software works on the latest versions of Windows, support for Mac and mobile phones will appear soon).
