Marc Mercuri and Kyle Johns: Inside RoboChamps

My head is spinning..this very far reaching and very cool. I would imagine the network infrastructure you are setting up to enable this is a monster.
For me, it will be interesting to see if this could be leveraged for digital rights management. Something like associating licenses to a users Mesh instead of a specific device.
Stay tuned for a Going Deep on FeedSync, the sync engine that powers the Mesh. Cericrempel wrote:Very cool!
How would the mesh handle concurrency? If two users are working on something and one saves right before the other, what happens? Or is this not meant to be a multi-user environment.
The mesh synchronization infrastructure essentially detects conflicts at the DataEntry level – so in the case of file synchronization, this happens at the file file/metadata level. While the system is able to resolve conflicts “automatically” if needed, in general it leaves the conflict resolution logic to the application layer. For example, using the scenario you describe below where “two users are working on something and one saves right before the other” – the mesh user experience (e.g., Live Folders) will prompt the user with information about the two conflicting files and allow the user to select how they would like to resolve the conflict. This approach enables applications which are able to handle conflicts at different levels to apply the appropriate logic for their users. In other scenarios where multiple users may be editing different DataEntries within the same Feed in the system – the system will automatically apply merge semantics for the changes.

this video really opened up my eyes to the true power of Mesh. Thanks on such a useful video!
Now all I'm waiting for is the SDK and access to Mesh
Saw all the reviews/video's saturday and can't stop thinking about the awesome possibilities. Great! Can't wait to get my hands on it and testdrive it.
Not being able to attend a conference and being in the Netherlands is bound to have me drewl a few months but still...
Curiously though how you integrate Mesh with a server enviroment though...
Jochem.
instead of RDP for applications how about a softgrid type of deployment
So can you use WebDav on a regular folder as a way to set-up new files in the cloud?
What's the URL to use?

I saw this interview in "Featured" area in the top right area of your web site. Then I clicked somewhere else and "Featured" changed to something else.
So, I wanted to find it. I looked around, did refresh couple of times hoping it will show up in Featured again. But no luck.
Then I clicked on Search button and typed "programming mesh" without quotes... It returned a bunch of irrelevant results. Then I used quotes, no luck again. In fact there was no difference, the result set was the same.
Now, I went to Google, clicked on Advanced Search and put "programming mesh" and typed to search on msdn.com website...
So what is your guess? A link to this interview was the 2nd one, and it took me about 20-30 seconds to find this post through Google.
And this is true for most of the documentation from Microsoft. I use google to search for help files on msdn, and have better luck in doing so then using live search. I don't like Google's predetory behavior and their policies at large, but hey, do I
have a choice?
MS live search is not the worst though, try finding something on IBM's web site, it is like in the jungle Although their (IBM's) other software is very good.
