  If you think about it, none of these are new at all. One of them is Office Live and the other is Mesh. They’re just getting a re-branding as they should.

  My guess is that Windows Live Devices is going to be the unique place for Live Mesh devices as well as Sync folders, if these two services are merged. Windows Live Documents will be the successor of Office Live Workspace, with access to the web versions of Microsoft Office 2010 applications hosted at office.com.

  Wave 4 appears to be well under-way now. I just hope these services aren’t just there for the sake of it, and they actually become useful and well integrated.

  I’m hoping for some news concerning Windows Live Messenger 2010 now!

  From what I hear, Devices functionality (a subset of Mesh features) will surface to the end-user under Sync branding. Full LOE support is still a long ways off, possibly at Wave5 or beyond.

  Although Windows Live Documents may indeed end up being the new OWA + Workspace brand, I’m being told the Office Live name will not be going away.

  Expect to hear more soon on the “Midori” project and its relationship with LOE.

  Wave 4 will be one heck of an upgrade I feel. It just touches on so many things and we haven’t even heard what the Live Mail team has slated. I am very pleased to hear about how Live Mesh will potentially be integrated. The name doesn’t stay intact but its capabilities will carry on in Sync, Devices and SkyDrive. But probably the unsung hero in Wave 4 will be Live Mesh Apps. Can you imagine the visibility these apps will have alongside core Live services? I can. Though we may not see a App Store until Wave 5.

  As a Office Live Small Business customer, I’m also extremely interested in what changes we may see. I’m glad they acquired the Office.com domain. I have seen and heard nothing about what changes are in store for OLSB users. My top “Live integration” priority would be to allow OLSB Contacts be accessible From Live Mail. Other than that I hope there are a number of service enhancements (1. Specify HTTPS option for select public facing web pages, 2. Be able to use Live Writer and 3. more web page component refinements).

  Projecting a bit, my hope is that Wave 5 includes Live Video Messages..taking advantage of Silverlight 4 capabilities. And that Office Live Small Business will finally be able to sync with Office 2010 Business Contact Manager.

  In the same time, that means Mesh will be down to just a synchronizing solution ? IINM, earlier it’s supposed to be a platform right ?

  Anyway, glad there’s already information to leak out for Wave 4. :D

  @Seika, I wouldn’t be surprised if you can remote your desktop from Live Devices depicted here. We else is missing, “News”, we’ll see how that gets integrated. But just because Live Mesh is being integrated more seamlessly into Live doesn’t mean that the platform goes away or becomes less relevant. I would strongly argue it will make the platform even more relevant. Previously, you could only access them from within Live Mesh Desktop. It would be cool if developer created Apps could be accessible from within Live Photos for example.

  i hope in:
  - full integration and merge of windows live sync and mash in one software with sky drive…and live, mesh and myphone with skydrive for mobile
  - full integration of calendar sync for mobile
  -sort contacts by status in hotmail live messenger

  …and i hope in a service like live photo but for videos (live videos) full integrated with skydrive and sapces

  any news on estimated date of roll out?

  Only the Wave 4 desktop apps are anticipated. Live Photo Gallery has again fallen behind compared to iPhoto 09 and Picasa 3. Live Mail is a good desktop client but nowhere near the features provided by Google’s web app, Gmail. Hotmail also is poor in terms of features. Messenger never really caught up with iChat. Movie Maker joins the group as the worst newcomer. Only Live Writer is a powerful app with a flourishing plugin ecosystem.

  Will the ‘devices’ finally sync my live calendar and contacts with blackberry or is this only going to work with windows mobile phones?
