  Yeah, you wish, Roman.

  All of the pitfalls I mentioned in http://goo.gl/lh6L still exist, and many have been even further agravated.

  Moreover, the general-purpose mesh object sharing has completely dissapeared, and now you can only use the OOB stuff.

  Very dissapointing.

  Kzu,
  Isnt' the LiveMesh functionality is migrating to Winodws Live Sync? I would imagine object model would stay the same.

  Mike,
  this is an open forum. Any community member, weekend hacker or company can take the most voted ones and provide an implementation like we've been doing ourselves.

  That's the best part: you KNOW that if you provide it, people will use it!

  Or tuned even...so tell me is it possible for other members of the community to volunteer to provide these features?

  Hi chris,

  I'm merging your idea with the VS Roaming one as the scenario you describe should be covered by that one.

  Thanks for submitting your idea!

  What this feature would need is programmatic access to whichever sync infrastructure we use. AFAIK, Dropbox does not provide that (and not everyone has a dropbox account).

  In the past, we used Live Mesh to implement something like this somewhat successfully (see http://www.clariusconsulting.net/blogs/kzu/archive/2009/06/25/155145.aspx), but after all the reorg and re-focus on Live *, Live Mesh has essentially died for now.

  None of the general-purpose Mesh Object programatic sync and access is available now, so we can't really use that (we did look at doing so).

  Love this, but I don't want yet another sync account framework. I'd like it to be based on Live Sync. many probably would want Dropbox or SugarSync, but just not some proprietary thing.

  I think this would be possible using LiveSync to keep your settings in sync.

  Nice to see my idea leading the list! Unfortunately, I'm a Clarius employee (well... not unfortunately, I love working at Clarius actually) meaning I don't get to participate in the free MSDN contest... ouch!
