Following up on yesterday's post re: Mesh. I had put my OneNote file (complete folder) on Mesh and then went home and set my desktop computer up on Mesh and synchronized the OneNote file that I had. This has been a real pain for me because I have learned to love OneNote. I have switched recently to EverNote because of this synchronization ability. Well now it works via Mesh. To test I change a few things in OneNote and then this morning, on the road, accessed the Internet opened my Live Mesh connection and OneNote was updated automatically - key word "automatically".
Now with the ability to add files and give other permission to specific folders we have our own simulated SharePoint for those of us who want to be able to collaborate or coordinate files with others not on the "Company Network". There were some things I had to "guess" my way through however I have to admit that I thought it was somewhat intuitive.
Now to put a files and find someone to "share" it with to see the real benefits of this Mesh thing. I do believe that this "Cloud Computing" thing will be major benefit to all. I have been using Google's for some time but this one works with my Microsoft software. The next step will be for Google to open up their file sharing and file storage to Microsoft's documents and files as well as their Ajax based products. I can hear Microsoft breathing hard and they could catch up.

We use Onenote with Live Mesh too. It works perfectly if we do not synchronize with Live Desktop. Synchronizing with Live Desktop slow down a lot and causes synchronization conflicts.
