Yes it does. But there were others before this. No real big news here...untill they make it universal, or x86 native that is.

Really?How? I use VPC 7 on my mac and I cannot use active sync at all. Guest PC are claiming that you can now run activesync on a mac, although it doesn't specifically mention WM5 support.

It says you can install programs via activesync as well on a mac, that would be great for me and massively improve the use I get from my Axim.

Does anyone have Guest PC, I beleive the new update is free - interested to see the results as if it works I will definately buy.

I can use VPC on my G5 with activesync with no problems, but its only usb 1.1 on the VPC side, so I just resort to my windoze pc.

Is it a mactel? I have a G4 emac 1ghz running 10.4.4 What version of WIndows are you running on VPC? Did you have to tweak or hack anything to get ti running?

Thanks

Its a dual 2GHz G5, Mac OS 10.4.6., as of this morning. I am running Windows XP Pro, and no, no hacks, but like I said, its slow as molassas (did i spell that right?)

OK, I may have to upgrade to XP on VPC and sacrifice speed. I don't care about the speed really, I just want to be able to install new programs properly.

Whats your mac like?

Lumsdoni · 04-04-06, 10:41 AM

EMAC g4 1ghz 1GB ram 60gb HD, 160GB ext HD, 3 x USB, 2 x Firewire,

04-05-06, 01:29 AM

Hmm...should just work...

Mine is a Dual 2GHz G5, 2GB RAM, 2x250GB HD, USB 2.0 ports, Firewire 400 & 800.

I used to have a 1GHz G4 iBook, but I dont think I ever installed it on there...

Well I installed guest PC last night. But then had problems installing WIn 2k kept getting a error on msgina.dll

Googled away but none of the solutions that came up worked. Was installing XP as I left this morning. It will be slow, but I do need a way of installing apps on the axim that is reliable.

Lumsdoni · 04-07-06, 04:19 AM

Installed OK, can now install .exe file sfor mthe mac and sync to Outlook on Guest PC.

04-08-06, 09:01 AM

So its working fine then?

Lumsdoni · 04-11-06, 09:08 AM

Mostly.

I have installed a number of apps that didn't have .CAB files successfully and can sync with uotlook.

Cannot browse device though, so use Card Export II.

One problem I have though is this orning I tried to install a program and Activesync claimed there was no room on the Axim. And there is 50mb left!

That sounds more like an Axim/ActiveSync problem. I can't be sure tho, I never had it.
