That's great for synchronizing stuff our kids might use--pictures and
movies--but how about the applications your real purchasers really need in
order to make the money to buy your software, i.e., our outlook calendars,
contacts, e-mail, etc.? By delaying the synch update you are alienating
your early adopters. These are the very folks who would otherwise be giving
glowing recomendations to others about Vista, i.e., your best word of mouth
advertisers. Not a smart marketing move from world's best marketing company
(and occaisionally software company), Microsoft. Get a move on, Uncle Bill !

New information from MS:

Windows Vista Beta 2 features built-in support for Windows Mobile-powered
devices for the very first time with the new Windows Mobile Device Center.
Instead of installing ActiveSync to use our devices, our device drivers are
now part of Windows Vista. Due to this built-in functionality, installation
of ActiveSync is blocked.

Windows Mobile Device Center can perform "Guest" functionality similar to
ActiveSync, but with some new and exciting features. With Windows Mobile
Device Center, you will be able to browse your device, synchronize media
using Windows Media Player, and even play media files and view pictures and
documents directly from the device. Our devices will be able to connect with
Windows Vista via Bluetooth, USB or infrared.

An update to the Windows Mobile Device Center will be available shortly on
Windows Update. With this update, you will be able to create partnerships
and synchronize your Windows Mobile-powered device with Outlook. Stay tuned!

I agree that it's a shame it has been delayed - one of the reasons behind my
decision to put my main desktop machine back to Win XP.

However, while you're berating Microsoft for 'alienating early adopters',
I've got a question for you.
If they released the Sync Centre code while it was incomplete in order to
keep you happy, and it trashed your PDA and forced you to perform a cold
reset and lose all your information, would you feel more or less alienated
than you do at the moment?

I'd rather have it late and right than on time and broken.

Good points, Bob--if it was that bad, thank you for holding back the new
synch product. Didn't mean to berate you guys, only to light a fire under
you. Despite my complaining, I always keep coming back for more!
