So finally after a hog of delays, Microsoft will be launching Vista in Times Square today. So why am I saying all about it here, where the community is dedicated to somehow or the other related to Pocket PC devices? Hmm, do you remember Active Sync? Needless to say the umpty number of errors it caused for most being unable to Synchronize it. Active Sync will no longer work in Vista. Due to many
changes in the Windows Vista architecture, Microsoft changed the way how devices
will sync. introducing something called Windows Mobile Device Center, shortly called as WMDC,
works pretty nice in terms of enabling you to set up new partnerships with
Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones, synchronizing content like your
Outlook items and managing music, pictures and video with any Windows Mobile
2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0-powered device (sorry guys - no further support of
Pocket PC or Pocket PC 2002). And in combination with the Windows Vista Sync
Center (which is the central place to get Widows Vista PCs synchronized with
Mobile devices that you plug in to your computer or to which you connect
wirelessly (such as portable music players, digital cameras and mobile phones)
and files stored in folders on network servers) the Windows Mobile Device Center
(which needs to be downloaded as an add-on) does a fantastic job. Now comes the notable point, the shortly called WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) is still in Beta and is not being shipped with the Core OS. So before you search for it, I'm here to let you know that you can download it from here and also note that its still a Beta version.
