If I had one suggestion for Microsoft it would be "FIX ACTIVESYNC!" They have a killer product, but compared to Palm's HotSync, or even the sync for my cell phone, A/S is terrible. It should be one-button simple to setup and sync.

And I'll never understand why they piggybacked on TCP/IP for communications with the PocketPC. The only thing I can think is that they never expected anybody to connect a PPC to a TCP/IP networked machine that might have a VPN on it, or a firewall, or ... or ...

But then, this is from the company where Bill Gates stuck us with the ridiculous 640K memory limitation because, in his words, "Nobody needs that much memory." :crooked:

Ah, there, I feel better now...
