Re: Microsoft Live Mesh - discussion thread

there's been more and more of a shift away from the traditional monothlith style of application design lately.

WCF (windows communication foundation) makes it piss simple to use the new peer to peer thing (no not like crummy bit torrent, thats just a stupid thing). This even has support for discovery (ie not relying on something like DNS to find a cloud) and can coupe very well if a major node goes down.

I think this shift in design will be as major as the shift from packet switched from circuit switched.
