Nothing serious, but I got this email yesterday and updated all the PCs:

"Removed the User Account Control (UAC) requirement when installing and using Live Mesh with Windows Vista SP1" This may not be such a good thing - at least the installation part.

This is a suggestion that I sent to the MESH team, what do you guys think? Your product is coming out great one request that I have is that some of us have a Windows Home Server. Because the server is always on it will be great if we could use the home server to expand our storage space in MESH. So some big files like videos and music stay at the home server but small items stay MESH. Or even better make MESH part of the home server as a back up in case your site is down we can still access our things. This was I think more people will feel controllable saving important files in you service because they can have their own MESH server to connect to when yours is down.
