Joel on Microsoft Live Mesh
I didn’t find the exact words to describe Microsoft Live Mesh, until I found them on Joel Spolsky’s blog:
“And what is this Windows Live Mesh? It’s a way to synchronize files.
Jeez, we’ve had that forever. When did the first sync web sites start coming out? 1999? There were a million versions. xdrive, mydrive, idrive, youdrive, wealldrive for ice cream. Nobody cared then and nobody cares now, because synchronizing files is just not a killer application. I’m sorry. It seems like it should be. But it’s not.”
Robert Scoble agrees: Why Microsoft Live Mesh will fail with early adopters.
What do you think about it?
