Hello everyone, I just installed Vista Ultimate last night (yes, I got the
launch released when I was on my way home after work). Now this is where I'm
confused because it sees I have a windows mobile device hooked to my computer
but it won't sync my contacts or anything, is that because I don't have
Microsoft Outlook installed? Thanks for any answers.

Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) just like ActiveSync before it is only
designed to sync contacts/emails/appointments etc with Outlook.

That's what I thought... but I was hoping it would at least sync with the
contacts/mail/calendar program that came with Vista, guess not... Time to go
out and get Office (which I was going to put off for awhile). Thank you.

Did you not get a copy of Outlook with your Treo? With every WM device I
have (4 so far, 3 phones and 1 PDA) I have received a copy of Outlook to go
with it.

Heh heh, fair enough. I must confess to using Outlook 2003 in great
preference to Outlook XP which came with 2 of the phones.

Yeah, I don't remember what version came with my treo but I don't think it's
2000 because it feels really weird (I use 2003 at work so I know if there's
something different :p )
