Live Mesh Update

Yesterday, Microsoft updated the Live Mesh Technical Preview.

This afternoon, I saw that Microsoft sent an e-mail about Live Mesh updates. I'm still playing catchup following Tuesday's catastrophic hard drive crash. Here are the updates, quoting directly from the e-mail:

  • "Live Mesh is now available in all English-speaking countries (not just the US)"
  • "Removed the User Account Control (UAC) requirement when installing and using Live Mesh with Windows Vista SP1."
  • "Index for Desktop Search now works with Live Mesh folders."
  • "Fixed bug where an underscore in a Hotmail account name returned an "Invalid Hotmail Address error."
  • "Fixed bug with Silverlight 2 Beta 2 failing to load in Silverlight Media View."
  • "Fixed bug where the notifier tooltip incorrectly indicated that Live Mesh Remote Desktop was unavailable for a computer running in non-admin mode."
  • "Fixed bug where the Live Mesh folder icon was not displayed in the e-mail inviting someone to share a folder."
  • "Fixed one of the bugs that caused Live Mesh to fail to start."
  • "Fixed problem with Live Mesh returning errors when waking from sleep/hibernate."

I'm still waiting for Mac support that's supposed to prove me wrong about Live Mesh's Windows-centricity.
