Help improve Live Mesh!

The Live Mesh Team is already gathering feedback on Live Mesh forums, Live Mesh Blog and Microsoft Connect, but there are more ways to collect feedback. In their constant search for feedback, the Live Mesh Team is now asking you to help them improve Live Mesh by providing them with feedback through:

1. An online Customer Satisfaction Survey
 LMeshCustomerSurvey  
This will only take a few minutes of your time: Customer Satisfaction Survey

2. Anonymous data collection
One of the best tools for improving Live Mesh is anonymously collecting statistics on how Live Mesh is behaving on each of your devices. With this tool the Live Mesh Team can monitor a variety of data points, such as the frequency of errors, typical network settings, and the reliability of sync. The data will be anonymously uploaded to a central server after which the team can aggregate the results across all of the users who choose to participate.

Because this feature sends some data about your devices to Microsoft, it is disabled by default. To turn on this option, click the Live Mesh icon in the notification area of your Windows taskbar and click your user name. Then, click Options, select the checkbox next to “Help us improve Live Mesh…,” and click OK.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

    The survey seems to be down for me. Anybody else able to access it?

    Worked for me. I like the way they hint at apps being available from anywhere. I said it wasn’t top priority, but I’m sure when we get that feature it will be very interesting for hot deskers.

    Here was my quick suggestion:

    The Live Mesh technology should be broken out and incorporated into Windows Live brand. For example, I feel the “device ring” and “remote access” compotents should be incorporated in a separate service area called “SkyNet” or “SkyRing”. Live SkyDrive should become some hybrid of Live SkyDrive and current Live Mesh’s desktop. SkyNet/SkyRing should show “SkyDrive” instead of “Desktop” as a device. Live Mesh’s syncing technology should be incorporated into Live Sync. But Live Sync should not have it own portal…just integrated into Live SkyDrive. And finally, instead of using a separate client on the PC, why not use Live Messenger as the “control panel” etc.

    @JohnCz – In case you missed it: The Live Mesh org is now part of Windows Live: http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2009/01/16/live-mesh-team-joins-windows-windows-live-org.aspx. Not to say that your good suggestions will happen, but we should see a lot more Live Mesh/Windows Live integration coming up :)
