Microsoft “Live Mesh” a data storage Web software system was announced by Microsoft of Tuesday. Live Mesh is a Microsoft’s entry to a rapidly growing market called cloud computing, where software applications & services from PC’s are send to a centralized data centers where they are made available via internet.

As far the the preview is concerned Live Mesh is more of a central data center for individuals, where you digital data is synchronized at a data center and is available via internet. The Microsoft Live Mesh is based on 4 core purposes.

1. Data Centralization
2. Application Access
3. Sharing / File Sharing
4. Socializing & Social Networking

1- Data Centralization
The application comes with a “Live Mesh Software” which once installs creates a seperate folder where you put up your digital data and all the information in that folder is synchronized with your online desktop. The online desktop so far will have 5GB of space.

2- Application Centralized Access
Apart from data centralization Live Mesh also promises that with your online desktop you would be able to run any software / application that you have installed on your local system. Seems like either you would connect directly to your desktop using remote desktop connection or some how Live Mesh will pick up the applications you have installed on your machine and put them online. Really looking forward to what this is about.

3- Sharing / Spread
off course where there is digital data there is sharing and where there is sharing there is going to be violation of file sharing and copyright issues so prbably this issue will rise when the application goes live and people start sharing there Music collections, videos, movies etc. Though i am a bit unsure about the speed of file sharing / file transfer.

4- Socialize & Social Networking
And yes there is going to be social networking tool, once you share stuff you make friends, IM them, you can also keep track of there activity , what files they changes, who is online and a bunch of stuff.

So far Live Mesh seems like a kool tool but mostly it depends how it performs what issues it faces and how far it can go. Starting with 5GB space seems nice very less for a single user.
