Windows Vista: A New Way To Sync

I haven't jumped on the Windows Vista bandwagon yet, as I'm waiting for the expected [HUGE] service packs that are sure to come along. But the laptop of a colleague of mine crashed the other day and she had to buy a brand new one. It came with Windows Vista.

In helping her set it up, it became clear that Vista no longer used ActiveSync. It was supposed to be built in. However, when we synched her Pocket PC it would only allow synchronization of music and basic files, not the Outlook data she was most interested in. Some research quickly lead to this update of the Windows Mobile Device Center.

Strange that Microsoft would have overlooked this necessity for the millions of Pocket PC and SmartPhone users out there! Anyhow, install it and all works pretty much as before, albeit with an updated UI on the Windows machine.
