So the question I'd like to know is, why isn't Windows Live Mesh enabled by default?  I also am beginnning to use SkyDrive, but that's doesn't allow me to log onto my work PC from home; I still need Live Mesh for that.  Does having SkyDrive disable Live Mesh?

when you install mesh you need to enable remote.

recently it seems like it's slow to connect, not sure why.

for me it's like 2-5 minutes not 10 plus.

it used to be really fast, i am wondering of MS has boched it up by not adding servers or cuting back on the service ?
