Live Mesh for Mac Technical Preview about to go live?

Livemeshsyncoptions

Our favorite "Live" tipsters just shot us a note that the Live Mesh for Mac Technical Preview should be announced pretty darn soon. If not, they why would the official looking https://www.mesh.com/Web/MacDownload.aspx already be live? I just hit it up and downloaded the client to my MacBook Pro but the app won’t run yet as the service appears to be in limbo just yet.

From what I can tell, this version looks to have the same features from when I last looked. Here’s the official info from the Live Mesh for Mac download page:

"Since the launch of Live Mesh, many people have been asking for a Live Mesh extender for the Mac and while it’s still under development, here is an early preview of our Mac extender. With the Live Mesh Mac extender, you can                               

  • Add your Mac to your Live Mesh – it will appear with your other devices on http://www.mesh.com and throughout the Live Mesh UI.
  • Synchronize files between your Mac, your other computers, and your Live Desktop.
  • Synchronize folder contents between your Mac and other folder members.
  • Easily access Live Mesh news, your Live Desktop, and manage your devices from the Live Mesh menu bar item.
  • Receive notifications through Live Mesh when updates are available and easily update the Live Mesh extender for Mac   

A word of caution!
Please keep in mind that the Live Mesh extender for Mac is still underdevelopment, and due to overwhelming enthusiasm, we’re making itavailable earlier than usual. Like many software projects, we startedour Mac development efforts with the basic technology and scenarios. Westarted by making our synchronization engine and operating environmentwork on the Mac and starting to sync file between computers andmembers.

Over the next few months, we’ll beworking on updating the user experience and improving the Live Meshexperience and functionality, performance, and stability on the Mac. Assuch, please use at your own risk and remember to send us feedback."

If you’ve got a Mac and have an interest in Microsoft’s Live Mesh, I’d stay tuned for an announcement soon. And hold on to that download link above too. ;)

Update: looks like the page just got pulled again although I’d guess that the URL will be good when it officially launches.
