Just tried to register and it mentioned that the service is not available to Australia yet an it put me on a waiting list. Any ideas?

Me too, same message as Peter, it says "Sign up for a reminder Thanks for your interest! Live Mesh is currently available in the U.S. only. Click "Sign up" to receive an email when Live Mesh is available in your country/region"

What's the latest with issue ? I also signed up only to be told that I couldn't use it because I'm in Australia...

Thanks Deeps, I changed my passport profile as you suggested and it worked.

Thanks again.

All my passport information says the Country is Australia but I still get "You have to be US". Is there a particular piece of profile which needs to be set?

I've made sure that my Windows live ID is up-to-date, and Country/Region: Australia is selected, however I'm still one of the users that is receiving the error, it's not available in your region.. Is this still a problem??

Same for me. I have been over and over my profile using the profile centre and every address and phone number has Australia set as the Country/Region but still I get the "Live Mesh is currently available in the U.S. only".

Any ideas?

Where exactly are you guys changing the country information in your LiveID? Don't see a place at https://accountservices.passport.net

Never mind. Figured it out.

Changed my Country/Region and all is good.

Thanks for that GollyJer. I changed by live ID Country/Region at

https://account.live.com/summarypage.aspx

and it now works for me. The email I got from Microsoft telling me about Mesh had an "Update Your Profile" link at the top which took me to:

https://profile.microsoft.com/RegSysProfileCenter/InfoDefault.aspx

This is the WRONG place. You must use the first link above. I had thought the Passport and Live ID were the same thing but apparently there are two profiles. I have no idea why.
