Free service from Microsoft that allows you to remote desktop to any of your computers from anywhere and use it as if you were sitting in front of it.

Useful for playing loud music while I’m at work to annoying my girlfriend who’s sleeping at my apartment.

Also useful as you can copy and paste files from the remote computer to your 5GB of online storage, or to the computer you’re on now. In other words, you can never forget a file again, as long as it’s on a PC with Mesh and an internet connection.

Here’s a screenshot of “My computer” on my home computer, as seen from the Mesh interface on my EeePC. That’s my home desktop. I even used the snipping tool on my home PC to take the screenshot, then saved it to my home desktop, clicked “copy” and pasted it to the desktop. Pretty cool stuff, especially for free.
