A new Mesh user here, just dipping my toes in after (re)investigating Mesh after hearing about the Crunchie award. I must say I'm impressed! However, the Black-theming is really bugging me. All it reall does is change the theme color, not interfering with Aero in a substantive manner, but it's by far the most prominent and annoying glitch on the Windows 7 Beta (another neat product I've been checking out recently). Again, congrats, and I look forward to even greater progress in the future! ;)Anonymous

Congratulations. While the basic idea of mesh (i.e sync the files between devices) seems easy, Microsoft mesh has done it in the most beautiful, transparent and reliable way. Industrializing an idea in this beautiful manner deserves such prizes and appreciation. As a computer scientist, I admire this project.Anonymous
