[OT?] Mesh

2009-09-21 Thread Stephen Price
Not sure if this is strictly on or off topic...

Someone at Teched mentioned to me that as Mesh (aka livemesh / www.mesh.com)
is part of services that are being retired. I think they are being replaced
with the Microsoft .Net Services (so possibly on topic for this list?). I've
looked about and can't find any info to confirm or deny this.

I use Mesh a fair bit and was wondering if anyone can point me to some
concrete info, or knows first hand? Will there be a replacement service or
will Mesh be moved to the new services? seems odd that they would drop
something given the amount of hype when it was first put out in beta.

thx,
Stephen

My understanding is that the consumer product know as Live Mesh will not be 
retired.  However, the developer/application platform Live Framework has been 
withdrawn in order to be surfaced again at a later date, presumably with closer 
integration into the whole Windows Azure platform.

Note that .NET Services is not related in functionality to Live Framework, 
although we may see that some of the services that were part of Live FX surface 
in components of .NET Services.  Specifically I'm guessing that the 
authentication mechanism will probably be aligned with the Access control 
service that is part of .NET Services.
