It's not aimed at fast recall though. Which is an interesting idea, consider it like cloud based tape Smiley

 

True but for backup purposes, this is a game changer (alternatives are about 10x more expensive).

But I agree that the UI is ugly (I like one thing though - that it allows you to view the change log as it was available with the old Live Mesh Beta - it was an amazing feature for troubleshooting and for my confidence in the product).


BTW Amazon just launched Glacier storage for data backup which costs just $1 per 100GB per month. Wow.

For the very same reason DropBox is out of question too.

So I'm looking for software that would be as close in features to current Mesh as possible. Cubby (https://www.cubby.com/) looks interesting - can sync arbitrary folder, has p2p sync etc.. But it's invite only, unproven and pricing is not known yet.

Then there are things like SugarSync and probably a dozen of others - actually too many to compare them all. So can anyone of you recommend a Mesh replacement that would be similarly simple yet powerful? Thanks.

The blurry text is indeed strange, considering it is a WPF 4 application. Also, I wonder if this could have been done in Silverlight 4 (and if so, what the motivation was to use WPF instead of Silverlight).

I think they did it because of the task bar integration.

This is a Silverlight problem (I think this is a SLOOB) that Microsoft need to fix

Blurry text was fixed in WPF 4 which this app supposedly uses.
