When will MS get it? It doesn't matter how many countries have access to Mesh it will never be relevant. Why don't they just release all of their software to the public domain and cease to exist as a company. While they are at it why don't they give me their billions of dollars rather than waste it on the sinking ship we call "Yahoo". I will properly re-invest the money by purchasing the rights to OS/2 and re-release it under open source as NewVista Plus. We all know what a superior code base OS/2 is and how making things open source magically makes it "right" and and instant success.

Does anybody care?
If it's just a file exchange, I would use it. If it's another MS Groove, screw it.

Now all Microsoft needs for Mesh to be successful is a ton of people willing to entrust their data to Microsoft. Good luck with that.

Would you rather entrust Google? They have admitted they keep complete records of everything they can grab for UTube viewers...
