    And keeping mum about the API is definitely no way to go about this...

    I dont think they are going to keep mum about the API..

    May be that right now is not RIGHT time.. They are still developing it.. But, if you want to measure horizon, look at this video..

    Mesh is definitely the future! Remember it is a platform on which you and I will be able to develop our own applications! Imagine your app using mesh platform to add sync functionality that adds brand new user experience of connected/sync'ed application!!

    User saves setting in your application on one machine and he never has to worry about setting them again on another!! Or say, user's data from your custom application gets saved directly on cloud which can be accessed from everywhere! (of course with his credentials and permission)..

    It is going to change desktop applications work and developed today!

    PS: I've been using Live Mesh Tech Preview (not the SDK, just one application that they released) from some time and its awesome!~! No doubt!

    jigarme, yeah - I don't deny that the potential is there. The main question I have is whether Microsoft can actually execute on this tech - they tend to have a problem of too much too confusingly to get their message across. I'd love to see it succeed, but given the track record, I'm not holding my breath. Honestly, if I had to lay money down, I'd say Apple will get there more successfully via some sideways route using .mac and other tech that one day people realize does these things.
