The Microsoft Live Mesh team announced that new updates would be available later today for the Live Mesh system. Both the Live Mesh software and the Live Desktop would be updated to version 0.9.3103.9,  In addition, Live Mesh is going to be available to more people and the sign-up process has been greatly streamlined.

Fixes in the latest version include:

• Raised the limit on the total number of customers we’ll allow to access the Live Mesh Tech Preview.
• Expanded availability: you can sign up directly, with no waiting list, if your country/region is the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand.
• Removed the limit on the number of Live Mesh invitations you have. Invite new friends and family members to the Live Mesh Tech Preview.
• For our customers in countries/regions other than those above, we’ve greatly simplified the waiting list process. You no longer need to sign up through Microsoft Connect. You can sign in with your Windows Live ID on www.mesh.com, click Sign Up, and you’ll automatically be notified once Live Mesh is available in your country/region.
• Improved the performance of peer-to-peer synchronization.
• General performance improvements.

One final note for folks with Windows Vista. “If you’re running Windows Vista and recently turned off UAC, you may have to turn on UAC to install this update. Please see the Live Mesh forums for further information.”

I’ve been using Live Mesh since it went public a few weeks back and I’m absolutely loving some of the initial features – in particular the ability to easily sync files between devices and the ability for me to easily remote desktop into my connected devices.
