Microsoft Mesh.com


I have been playing with Microsoft's Mesh product over the last week. The product seems to be straightforward. I am trying it on three computers all running Windows XP. So far I have not had any problems and the interface is intuitive.

I can see an incredible amount of potential for this type of product and service especially because of the tight integration with the Windows environment. Once Microsoft matures their SaaS offering for office productivity applications we will see a concept such as Mesh really taking off. Companies will want the flexibility of remote processing and workers will want the flexibility to work from home perhaps with local software on home computers. Synchronization will be very important.

Security with this product concerns me and I will be discussing it with my security team. I was able to identify many security problems immediately after downloading the client on my work computers in order to experiment.
