Microsoft unveils Windows Live Mesh a service that gives you access to your docs from anywhere. 
Live Mesh is a service that will give you 5-gigabytes (GB) of online storage that is accessible from anywhere in the world, provided you’re on one of your Internet-connected devices (laptops, handsets, etc). The idea is that you would be able to store files in Live Mesh and modify them anywhere, synchronizing documents onto your devices so that you can take them offline, then pushing any changes back to the service the next time you connect. You’ll even be able to share documents with others and view and edit them on a virtual, online desktop.
Live Mesh pits Microsoft against companies like Amazon, Google and Salesforce.com which are already offering different varieties of so-called software-as-a-service systems.
This service will be initially offered for Windows XP and Vista users, Microsoft has said Live Mesh will also be rolled out to Apple Macs and other platforms. [Source BBC]
