Is it as good as it sounds like it could be?

Mesh is definitely the future! Remember it is a platform on which you and I will be able to develop our own applications! Imagine your app using mesh platform to add sync functionality that adds brand new user experience of connected/sync’ed application!!
User saves setting in your application on one machine and he never has to worry about setting them again on another!! Or say, user’s data from your custom application gets saved directly on cloud which can be accessed from everywhere! (of course with his credentials and permission)..

It is going to change desktop applications work and developed today!

PS: I’ve been using Live Mesh Tech Preview (not the SDK, just one application that they released) from some time and its awesome!~! No doubt!

Andy sure, but the OS becomes a commodity, just like a HAL

I think the OS is dead argument is overstated here and by many comentators. Google for mobile needs an OS (Andriod). Apple is gaining ground through devices specific to OSX. Microsofts current key effort appears to be in Silverlight and WPF rich client apps. All need OS and hardware acceleration for fancy 3D graphics. Long live the OS!

PXLated: I pinged them to ask if I can build some demos and show them here.

Well PXLated….if you want to get a feel for reality, you might want to buy yourself tickets to Microsoft PDC 2008. One of the sessions seems perfect for what you are looking for:

Live Platform: Building Mesh Applications
The Live Mesh cloud services and client platform provide powerful FeedSync-based data synchronization capabilities, device P2P and cloud-relay communications, pub-sub infrastructure, and an extensibility model for applications. This session describes how you can take advantage of the Mesh developer platform, protocols, and APIs to mesh-enable your existing and future web services and client applications-allowing you to target unique new scenarios and reach new users.

“you gotta split the apps and platform”
Am aware of that but with Gillmor and all the Ray Ozzie is god, Mesh is the saviour of Microsoft stuff, and now you, I need to see more than just a sync app to get a feel for reality. ;-)

synching files is an application of the mesh

you gotta split the apps and platform

there is an open source client beint built, and MSFT said they are doing a Mac client. I connected my Mac via Parallels + XP :)

But isn’t that all just sync? And, no Mac client so it doesn’t exist :-)

“actually built it” – where is it, is it actually available and being used?
