In signing up for the Live Mesh Technical Preview, folks from these countries will still need to run with an English locale for now. 
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Currently, sign-ups for the Live Mesh Technical Preview are available in the following countries &lt;I&gt;without&lt;/I&gt; a waitlist: &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;United States&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Australia&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;New Zealand&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Canada&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;India&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Ireland&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Amit says that the Live Mesh Team still does have a maximum limit of users who will be allowed in to the Live Mesh Technical Preview. As long as sign-ups remain below that limit, anyone in the above listed countries is free to sign-up. However, once that limit is met - sign-ups for the Live Mesh Technical Preview will be closed until the team is ready to open it up again for more users. &lt;B&gt;So &lt;/B&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.mesh.com/Welcome/Welcome.aspx"&gt;&lt;B&gt;sign-up&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;B&gt; now!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Angus Logan &lt;A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/angus_logan/archive/2008/08/15/get-your-mesh-on-in-english-in-india-canada-and-ireland.aspx"&gt;also blogged&lt;/A&gt; about today's Live Mesh announcement. Angus is a Product Manager for the Live Platform. He blogs a lot about cool developer-related Live Platform technologies. Because Live Mesh is a platform and falls under Live Platform - Angus is a Live Mesh expert and often showcases Live Mesh on this blog. Matter a fact, I'd like to point out a post of his from a few months ago consisting of several tips and tricks on &lt;A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/angus_logan/archive/2008/05/03/get-more-productivity-out-of-live-mesh-with-vista-tips-tricks.aspx"&gt;how Live Mesh can boost productivity&lt;/A&gt; in Windows Vista. Angus - more tips and tricks please!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Remember, Live Mesh is in the Technical Preview stage. This is essentially pre-Beta. While the Live Mesh Technical Preview has been incredibly reliable and awesome for me - because Live Mesh is still in the pre-Beta stage there are still risks just as there would be for any pre-Beta software release. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://windowsteamblog.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=500736" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Cloud+Storage/default.aspx">Cloud Storage</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Software_2B00_Services/default.aspx">Software+Services</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Live+Mesh/default.aspx">Live Mesh</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Technical+Preview/default.aspx">Technical Preview</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Live+Platform/default.aspx">Live Platform</category></item></channel></rss>
