Live Mesh was the victim of SkyDrive's success. In an official Windows Blog post, product marketer David Kornfield wrote, "With the significant investments in bringing the DNA of Mesh together with SkyDrive, there are now over 200 million people that have used SkyDrive, and more and more are making the move every day."
After comparing the user counts of both services, it's easy to see why the company is opting to pour its resources into the one that impacts more users—by a huge margin. "So while Windows Live Mesh was at one point used by a few million people, most have made the move and there are now less than 25,000 active users of Windows Live Mesh."
