Microsoft Live Mesh tech preview hits Mac OS X

I got a tip off from the LiveSide folks earlier this week that we’d see it and they were spot on: the technical preview of Live Mesh for Mac is finally available. I’ve just pulled down the 6.8MB download and will have to kick the tires for a bit. My impressions of earlier "pre-preview" efforts were pretty encouraging so I’m expecting good things. Note that the download screen says "coming soon for mobile" as well. Could be that the Windows Mobile version will be following close behind, so keep an eye out.

If I understood the Microsoft Azure news out of PDC, Live Mesh is built upon the new development platform that’s the framework for Microsoft’s cloud effort. Just for a quick test of the cloud, I was able to add new files to a Live Mesh folder on my Mac and quickly saw them appear on the Samsung Q1UP. No luck yet with remote controlling one device from another over the Mesh… or the Azure cloud.
