It looks like Microsoft is preparing to take on Apple’s MobileMe by putting out a Mac version of their LiveMesh file synchronising service, and apparently beta copies are now undergoing tests. The announcement was made at the Professional Developers Conference.

Microsoft LiveMesh is a Software Plus Serive app which can sync files between PCs and store files in a Microsoft Cloud server. Apparently the Mac version will sync file between Macs, Windows Mobile phones, and PCs, although it won’t be able to sync with the Apple iPhone.

Ian Moulster, Microsoft’s Windows Live Commercial Lead says “At mesh.com you have the Live Desktop which is a Web based storage space containing folders. On your computer, you can right-click on a file and select ‘add to my mesh’. After a few seconds the folder will turn blue to signify that it’s been added to your Mesh.”
