Get Emeshed

Microsoft's Live Mesh is pretty cool. The service allows you to create a virtual desktop on the web that can be synched up with your various computers or devices.

Once synched, you can access those files or even applications anywhere you can connect to your Live Mesh account. The virtual desktop support allows you to access your remote machines similarly to remote desktop and you can even use a mobile browser to access your account.

I must not be the only one that thinks it is cool because Live Mesh was the winner of the Best Technology Innovation/Achievement at the Crunchies award show, January 9th.

It would be interesting to see just how secure Live Mesh is. The service uses SAML tickets and https during sessions, but I still don't think I will be synching any computers that have sensitive information on them, or putting my financial files in my synch folder...at least until it gets out of Beta.

Just a hunch, but I am guessing there are some Black Hats out there who are also interested in the possibilities Live Mesh provides.
