I have previously blogged about Windows Live Mesh and how useful the Live Desktop feature is. Well following a forced stint of working from home I realised how powerful this is.

On my home PC I have Live Mesh installed and logged in using my LiveID. On my PC at work I have Live Mesh installed and logged in using my LiveID.

Say I am working at home on work projects that are stored on my work computer. From my home PC, I go to my Live Desktop and create a new folder, I then associate the 2 computers I want to synch this directory to (namely work and home).

The new folder appears on both computers immediately. I can then copy into the folder on my work computer - the working documents and files that I am need during the day.

This automagically synchs continuously with the folder on both my Live Desktop and my home computer (for the techies - it uses a version of SoiurceSafe). Any edits/adds/deletes I do on my home computer are reflected in the synched directories.

No need for VPN, no need for copying everything onto a flash drive, it's seemless and doesn't eat up any noticeable bandwidth or CPU.

Simply put, everything I work on at home is synched to my work computer, and everything I work on at work could be synched to my home computer. Outstandingly useful!

If this is just the begining of cloud computing then there is plenty to be excited about!

For those of you who use more than one computer in an average day - get Live Mesh now. It'll soon have mobile capabilities too.
