Today, Windows Live Mesh users received a notification about the closure of the service from February 13, 2013.
Windows Live Mesh is a cloud data storage from Microsoft, the ancestor of the now actively promoted company SkyDrive. In addition, one of the useful features of Mesh was a function for working with a remote desktop via the Internet between computers that have the corresponding client installed (for most platforms). The Mesh application is included with Windows Live Essentials 2011. ')
According to the Microsoft letter, from February 13, 2013 the service will be completely closed, and all user data will be deleted. Installed service clients will no longer sync. Until that time, the service will work as usual.
All Mesh users are invited to switch to another MS cloud service - SkyDrive .
In conclusion - a quote from the letter:
Currently, 40% of Mesh users are actively using SkyDrive. Given the positive feedback and our desire to improve the personal cloud storage, we decided to combine SkyDrive and Mesh into a single product representing file access anytime, anywhere.
