If you weren't able to get a Live Mesh invitation from the HEXUS.community forums, fear not, Microsoft has today made the tech preview available to all.
The service, which promises a platform to seamlessly synchronise folders across any or all of the devices in your mesh, has been well received by users during the invitation-only phase, and looks to be an integral part of Microsoft's future plans.
Unfortunately, Microsoft's definition of "open to all" seems to apply only to those residing in the US. Though, international users aren't entirely left out, there's a little workaround that can enable us all to get our Live Mesh fix. Here's the official statement:
Live Mesh is now openly available to anyone in the U.S.
The Live Mesh team is pleased to announce that anyone in the U.S. can now use Live Mesh just by signing in to www.mesh.com with a valid Windows Live ID. No sign up needed to participate!
International Customers
With Live Mesh open to anyone in the US, our international friends can join in the fun early as well - with one caveat: you must be willing to change your Windows operating system region and language setting to EN-US. Once you do this you will be able to immediately sign in to Live Mesh with a valid Windows Live ID. Please be aware that this may cause other applications that specifically require your native country region and language settings to encounter problems.Feedback
Once you've begun using Live Mesh, we'd love to hear from you! We are working hard to create the best experience and appreciate any feedback you have. Please send us feedback using our online form. You can also submit (and view others’) feedback and bugs here on the Microsoft Connect website.
Thank you,
The Live Mesh team
