Send me an email. xxdesmus @ Google's email service. I'll send you an invite.

Someone must have grabbed a copy of this Mac client right? Please share with the rest of us. I'd love to get this going on my Mac.

Now if only I could get into the Mesh test, I could try this on my Mac ;)

Live Mesh is being built as a platform. What we're seeing (and catching glimpses of) now are early proof of concept scenarios for what could be available, either from Microsoft, or from other developers building on the platform. From the Feedsync page on dev.live.com (Live Mesh uses Feedsync, remember):

Too often today data is “locked up” in proprietary applications and services or on various devices. As an open extension to RSS and Atom, FeedSync enables you to “unlock” your data—making it easy to synchronize the data you choose to any other authorized FeedSync-enabled service, computer, or mobile device.

So will we see a Microsoft built Linux client for Live Mesh? Maybe or maybe not. Will someone build a Linux client using the Live Mesh platform? Ray Ozzie and company certainly (at the very least) hope so, I'm sure.

I doubt it, they only say Mac and mobile.

Does MS have any plans to release a Linux/Ubuntu version? I like the look of live Mesh so much, but I'm not switching to Windows for it...
