Getting More Out Of Live Mesh
Geek In Disguise — ...

Egnyte turning netbooks into notebooks with unlimited file storage
jkOnTheRun — ... , or even the technical preview of Microsoft's Live Mesh. Egnyte netbook offering is tagged as "the only online service that addresses three of your critical needs: file storage, collaboration and continuous backup in one secure solution." I beg to differ on that claim, but they do offer a solid feature-set at a reasonable $15 per month for unlimited storage.

BarCamp Liverpool Got Me Thinking
Geek In Disguise — ... and Live Mesh I think. I was asked why was Office so “bloated” and as I thought it through it dawned on me that Office got so big because we put more and more in the box for a non-broadband world. When you have always on Internet, the notion of adding to a program through additional downloads (like Firefox) is so obvious.

HowTo: Fix Windows 7/Windows Live/Mesh login issues
