Mesh is a failure worse than hailstorm.

Will Mesh be any different? The concept might sound cool, but execution is crucial for the long running health of any business. Fail at that too many times and people will start looking elsewhere.

Fed up with Windows and high priced Office, I switched to Apple gradually; I’m not technology geek but I do like stuff that works. Stuff like a stable OS, a search tool that looks for a word in the document (Spotlight), a phenomenal backup system (Time machine), an easy to set up wi-fi… the list goes on. Files can be easily shared between different computers across my wi-fi network between the office and the garden, for example. It even mirrored my old Dell’s hard drive for easy copying of hundreds of old files in minutes, all without a cable. I didn’t need an instruction manual, it was intuitive and easy. It was also very stable.

My point is, would I trust MS not to make a balls up of Mesh and offer yet another buggy, flawed and unstable software? My experience tells me to be cynical, weary and suspicious.
