Yesterday night Microsoft launched its highly awaited 'tech preview' version of Live Mesh which is its latest platform. This new platform will link devices to the internet through Windows software. By the end of the year Microsoft Live will support Mac systems and mobile phones for connecting to internet.
Microsoft Live Mesh will enable variety of devices to be connected such as game consoles, set-top boxes, auto PCs, and more. With this newer platform Microsoft perceives the web as "the Hub of our social mesh and our device mesh." The web has spread its wings but still people consider desktop or laptop as their personal asset. The thought has not grown beyond that. With Live Mesh Microsoft is trying to create mesh as a personal asset that will have your devices, desktop, laptop, gaming consoles all interconnected. Once your mesh recognizes device connected to it as your personal then its configuration and personalization settings, its applications and their own settings, and the data it carries will be seamlessly available and synchronized across your mesh of devices.

Let's keep our finger crossed to hear more on this integration platform from Microsoft.

Lets see the top 4 P2P applications of all times are <a href="http://www.faroo.com">Faroo P2P Search</a>, <a href="http://mermaid.metaaso.com">MetaASO Mermaid Worldwide Multimedia Broadcast Systems</a>, <a href="http://www.emule.com">Emule P2P file sharing</a>, <a href="http://www.azureus.com"> Azureus BitTorrent P2P File Sharing</a> None of these applications can be developed using the Live Mesh. Live Mesh is not open enough to allow the Open Source adopters to hook onto it. It is and will always be a closed source propeitary solution which will work only to further Microsoft's commercial interests. What happened to the Free Software revolution? Live Mesh has a very heavy infrastructure behind it but it fails on so many counts that one cannot even think that it will succeed on the global scale. The problem lies in attempting to design a universal generic solution for everything and then failing miserably on all counts except some. As a developer I fail to see how I could use this?
