Google want us to make stuff in the cloud and save it (gears) to our devices – and MS want us to make stuff on our devices (office) and save it in the cloud/mesh. So, the question that’s taxing me is at what point should security credentials be applied. Network access – or file access? I think file access.

Micorsoft Mesh doesn’t “click” with me either – it’s a client server use of the cloud – the cloud relegated to a giant file store and in Microsoft’s world this keeps the focus on the client.

I’ve never liked the idea of synchronising my files – I’ve always kept one copy on the network share and relied upon being on-line to get it (keeping just a few emergency files local on one machine).

I’m sure Mesh is out of Ray Ozzie (Grove 2.0 as you call it) but I think (hope) from what I have read that Ozzie has “got” the cloud now but they have to play catch up.

The Mesh is probably a compromise and result of internal politics in Microsoft – you can imagine the sort of meeting between teh Cloudies and the Office stalwarts.

I suppose Mesh will have it’s place (or niche) with those comfortable with it.

Security – ohhh scary implications

It’s not as subtle as a theremin (just note on/not off) but it looks pretty swizzy.

Found her comments about needing controlled movements interesting – can’t just rock like a “slaroiund and carry on playing when your instrument is the air.

Would be interesting to be able to define unque air intrunemts – a “slap bass violin”
