Windows Live Sync dies, zombie Live Mesh is reborn
Today, however, they've announced that they're going to take a mulligan and un-re-name Live Sync. It's going to be called Live Mesh after all, and more importantly you're also going to get that extra 3GB of space back.
Mesh probably makes more sense anyway, what with Sync including the desktop remote functionality. But hey, who gives a rat's patoot about the name when you can now cram in more than double the digital crud? Who knows, maybe some day they'll open the floodgates and let us have Mesh access to the whole 25GB SkyDrive theoretically offers...

Wait waaa; MS you're hurting my brain now
And GOOGLE. Where is your desktop syncing software at?

I've been using Mesh even though I know the Sync was available... I felt that it was actually easier though sometimes annoying when I'm waiting for it to finally sync... it doesn't have a force sync button, it just syncs when it finally notice a change in the folder. Still I have a friend who uses it too and it was easy to share multiple files that we're both working on so I wasn't just using it for my two personal computers. I'd like to see how'd they'll implement it though with WP7.

When I tried the beta a couple of weeks ago I found you can't sync folders with different paths on each computer, which seemed crazy :S Here's my review: http://www.teamtownend.com/2010/08/dropbox-vs-windows-live-sync-beta-review/

I sync folders with different paths with work and home computers no problem.

I assume you're using the current version (not the live essentials beta version)? It's apparently not possible in the beta

Hopefully they fixed the issue where Live Sync (beta) breaks SMB and CIFS. I had installed Live Sync beta on my w7 box and I could no longer connect from my WDTV Live to my file shares. Many users report this same issue that deals with some sign-on assistant app that gets loaded with Live Sync. After removing the whole Live Essentials package, things returned back to normal. Do I dare test it out again with Live Mesh? Does anyone have any success to report with this issue?
