Microsoft: Live Mesh
(Photo Source:CNET)
The launch of Live Mesh offers the clearest understanding yet of what Microsoft’s Windows Live Platform group has been working on for the last two years. And yet, Live Mesh is just the start of something big. It’s only one of the projects that 400 or so people are working on in Microsoft’s Live Platform group. However, trying to make sense of that platform is no easy task. Live components falls into three categories. First, at the top layer are finished services, things like Windows Live Hotmail or Windows Live Photo Gallery. Under that is the area they focuses on–platform services. And that includes things like Live Mesh as well as core contacts and messaging engine and Live ID authentication. About 100 of the 400 or so people are devoted to Live Mesh.
