From the blog post on the Office Live team blog entitled Looking ahead and bringing you even more we learn

Today, I wanted to share with you some exciting news about Office Live: To simplify and improve the customer experience around our Live services, we’ve made the decision to converge Windows Live and Office Live into an integrated set of services at one single destination. We think that just makes a ton of sense and goes a long way toward giving you a simpler, richer, better service that allows you to do more with one account.

Every day, more and more people are signing up for Office Live Workspace and Office Live Small Business (4 million of you so far!), as well as Windows Live (460 million to date!).

Secondly there’s the MSDN forum post entitled Working Together: Live Mesh and Windows Live by the Live Mesh team which informs us that

For some time now, many of you have expressed interest in seeing some sort of combination of Live Mesh and other Microsoft services. In order to further explore these ideas we would like to ask you to share with us the scenario(s) that you have in mind. 

What combination(s) are you interested in, and why? Whatever your interests, whatever problem you’re trying to solve or scenario you want to enable, we’d like to hear the details – and the more specific you can be, the better.

We know you have ideas – this is the place to share them!

Thank you,

The Live Mesh Team

I love it when things come together this way. There's been a lot of choice in Web-based storage solutions offered by Microsoft and some would argue that it's been too much choice. It will be good to how the cross pollination of ideas ends up working out between these various products over the coming months and years.

If you are interested in developer or end user scenarios around Web-based storage I recommend chiming in on the MSDN forum post linked above. It's your chance to give your feedback to Microsoft and help influence the direction of the most innovative technology product of the past year

Well that ruined a great idea for a future blog post. Had started trying to figure out what did what best and which I should use but have put that on hold. See this post on my CAD blog;
