Thanks to Angus Logan for letting us know about this exciting news, as announced by James Senior. There is now a Mac client for Live Mesh.

First Look: Live Mesh Client for Mac

Important to note that the Mac client needs to sync via the cloud, whereas on Windows the latest version will allow peer-to-peer sync (ie no need to store in the cloud). This is basically due to the code base on the Mac side being a little behind the Windows version. But the Mesh development has been very quick this year, so we don’t anticipate much delay in the Mac version. Oh, it ‘works’ on the iPhone.

Yes, we read the vague reports too – something about a Windows Cloud operating system coming. Something elsewhere about how it will ‘look a lot like a Windows Server‘. In any case it will be aimed at helping developers write internet based applications.

The funniest part about this bit-by-bit news trickle (mostly via Ballmer) Microsoft have been feeding in the last few weeks was his closing remark (noted by PC World):

"That’s all I can say on that," Ballmer said. "Otherwise, we have no drum-roll announcement in a month."
