Microsoft has really rebooted itself over the last several years. While most companies seem to never change, and mostly focus on what they have always done well, Microsoft has transformed numerous times since its creation. In the last several years, Ray Ozzie has really stepped things up a notch at Microsoft since Groove Networks was acquired by Microsoft (A company he formed). Since Ray Ozzie took over the title of Chief Software Architect from Bill Gates in June of 2006, he has really stepped it up a notch. Silverlight was a huge hit a few years ago at the MIX Conference.
I’m so pumped for next week Wednesday when Microsoft will reveal details of Live Mesh! During the keynote on Wednesday, Amit Mital will be revealing more details on Live Mesh. Who is Amit Mital? Well he used to be the General Manager of BizTalk, and Live Meeting Web. He is currently the General Manager of Live Mesh.
“Just imagine the possibilities enabled by centralized configuration and personalization and remote control of all your devices from just about anywhere. Just imagine the convenience of unified data management, the transparent synchronization of files, folders, documents, and media. The bi-directional synchronization of arbitrary feeds of all kinds across your devices and the Web, a kind of universal file synch.”
- Ray Ozzie
Mesh is being launched today, and being previewed tomorrow during the keynote!
