With a wide range of software available for download from the Internet, it becomes difficult to carry all the applications that you use frequently while on the go.
For instance, what would you do if you want to convert a file format from your office using a file conversion utility that is installed on your home PC? This would require downloading and installing the application on your office PC which can be a lengthy process.
What if you could prevent all this hassle by accessing the software remotely to get your work done? With Windows Live Mesh, all you have to do is simply register on their website from your home PC and add your system on your account.
You can then access any application, modify a file or change Windows settings using the remote connection feature provided by Windows Live Mesh.
What's more, you can even install Live Mesh on multiple systems which will then enable you to use resources connected to them as well.
Moreover, you can even transfer files from the host and client machine, create folders on the Mesh as well as sync them as and when required.
