Live Mesh available for all US Live IDs (?)

Posted Jul 16 2008, 05:04 AM by Kip Kniskern with 6 comment(s)

Picturepan2 just tipped us that Live Mesh seems to be open and available if you have a US Live ID.  I just tried one of my backup accounts and got right in.  We don’t see any announcement from the Live Mesh team, who are usually pretty good at announcing changes, so not sure whether this is a glitch, or if Live Mesh is opening up.

Anyway, using a US Live ID to get into Live Mesh seems to be working at the moment, give it a try if you want.  No guarantees, and no expectations that this will last long, but you never know.

As of 11:55pm (July 15) EDT, I (a lowly non-mesh invitee) can access the live desktop and have installed the mesh software bits.  Alas, I can't actually add my computer to the device ring; when I try to sign in from installing the mesh app I get a 401 permission denied error.

Still, thanks for the great tip-off.

Update: Just tried with my other Live ID account (an "@hotmail.com" address) and I now have full access. Huzzah!  And I thought I'd have to wait till the broader beta at PDC...

Nice! Everyone deserves access to this. I've been using it for a while now, it's fantastic. I can't wait to see it rolled out to other devices & applications.

Yup, it's confirmed at the Live Mesh forums ( forums.community.microsoft.com/.../threads ):

"Live Mesh is now openly available to anyone in the U.S.

The Live Mesh team is pleased to announce that anyone in the U.S. can now use Live Mesh just by signing in to www.mesh.com with a valid Windows Live ID. No sign up needed to participate!

International Customers

With Live Mesh open to anyone in the US, our international friends can join in the fun early as well - with one caveat: you must be willing to change your Windows operating system region and language setting to EN-US. Once you do this you will be able to immediately sign in to Live Mesh with a valid Windows Live ID. Please be aware that this may cause other applications that specifically require your native country region and language settings to encounter problems.

Feedback

Once you've begun using Live Mesh, we'd love to hear from you! We are working hard to create the best experience and appreciate any feedback you have. Please send us feedback using our online form. You can also submit (and view others’) feedback and bugs here on the Microsoft Connect website.

Thank you,

The Live Mesh team "
