  Sync, SkyDrive, Mesh: explaining the Windows Live chaos
Time: 08:00 EST/13:00 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Last week, the Windows Live FolderShare team announced that it would be renaming the product to a more sensible name, Sync, and would be rolling out major improvements in time to be part of Windows Live 3.0. I found this surprising simply due to the fact that Microsoft is already working on improving SkyDrive and Mesh. These three products have major overlaps which can be potentially confusing to consumers:

  • Windows Live Sync is a product meant for syncing files across two or more computers (XP, Vista, and Mac OS X) and sharing them with other people. The Wave 3 version will integrate with Windows Live Photo Gallery.

  • Windows Live SkyDrive is a service that gives you online storage for uploading files and sharing them with other people. The Wave 3 version will integrate with Windows Live Photos.

  • Live Mesh is a syncing mediator for files across computers, mobile devices, and with other people. It also allows you to remotely control Windows PCs and has an App Catalog where developers will be able to release their apps that work seamlessly online and offline. Of the three, it is the biggest project and goes beyond just Windows Live.
