Microsoft MESH

So, Microsoft has launched a new service called Live MESH. Just like most M$ ideas (yawn) , this one too ain't earth shattering well.. thanks for no surprises as usual Microsoft. If there is anything predictable from the most powerful business empire, that is low innovation and reinventing the wheel to make it look even worse. The service is basically a web based drive that you dont need to carry around. My gripe for now is that you get 5GB of free space. I dont know if the folks at M$ are living in another age. But you can get a 4GB teeny weeny flash drive for less than $20. Do you need to be this stingy? Like most M$ web services, you can login with the infamous Passport or Live ID and get access to your shared data.
This may apparently be Microsoft's venture into the HDD area of "Cloud Computing".See the Economist article here. The market itself is rather full of similar services. Microsoft's Skydrive, Streamload, Dropbox etc. are a few to name. I hope to see a plethora of applications that can serve synergistically with these services. Google wont be too far behind. Adobe already provides a paid service for professional photographic portfolio managers

The steps are simple enough.
Go to the website.
Login with your ID to hotmail or MSN.
Install the software (win32)
Once the service is launched it shows a blue orb near your system clock.
Click on Connect on the website.

Once connected you can add your "Device" or computer to the live mesh. (umm.. a bit scary aint it?)
Now, open Windows explorer and right click on the folder you want to umm.. "Share".
Tada, now its on. Synch and start using.
I found it interesting that my Comodo Firewall did not ask for a confirmation of the install process. Usually Comodo is quite jumpy about any new installations. Hmm...? I wonder why?

I have sync'd some of my research material that I work on from home. I will report how this works, by next week.
Here is a screenshot of my folders.
