I have been using Live Mesh ever since it’s initial release, even on my WiMo device.  Today I opened up a Word Document – that I update daily – and just noticed that it has been reverted to a copy that is about 1 week old.  This is not the first time that this has happened.  And of course I was using Mesh as my only backup.

It seems that Mesh cant handle a simple thing like versioning of documents correctly.  Unacceptable.

Its time to revert back to using my USB Pen drive for shared documents, and GoodSync to back it up.

As you can suspect this is very disappointing for me.  I think for my Music I will leave them in Mesh since that really wont matter.

Either way, it would seem that Microsoft has a bit of work to do in order to aggregate all of their online/cloud services together under one bucket (Azure?).

1. MyPhone – which seemingly is not integrated with the standard live services.  Why one would want two separate calendars for the same data is beyond me.
2. Mesh
3. SkyDrive
4. Live (mail/calendar/etc.)

Live.Mesh.UnInstall();
