Sliverlight + Mesh = Silvermesh?

I’m not exactly sure what Microsoft has cooked up with Mesh yet. In fact, I have not even had time to work on testing silverlight yet…but I want to – now with Mesh…it just gets harder to keep up. Here’s a few links I have so far:

Untangling the Microsoft mesh – from zdnet.
“Mesh” was Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie’s word of the day last week at Microsoft’s Mix ‘08 conference. Ozzie waxed prolific on “social mesh,” “device mesh,” “seamless mesh” and more.

Mesh has the potential to be HUGE – from a cynergy systems post
The last time I was excited about a new technology was about a year and a half ago with Silverlight, it was so new and fresh and offered such promise. I can now say, personally speaking, that the same things can be said about Mesh. It will ultimately redefine how we exchange, use and sync data online. It has the potential to be HUGE!

Do you really get Live Mesh?
But how do you explain something as utterly complex as Live Mesh in that short of time? Well, you don’t really, which is why there are some who think Live Mesh is a souped up FolderShare or ‘just another service’. Live Mesh is a platform, one that spans devices and operating systems. To really get a sense of what Live Mesh is, you should watch this incredible video Charles Torre shot with Ori Amiga, Group PM of the Live Developer Platform. If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, at least watch the second half.

Not sure – but it could be rather interesting.
