Vista RC1 and Windows Mobile

I've installed it, i'm using it, Bluetooth connection to my Windows Mobile device works a treat, and I love the way the device now behaves like a proper drive (you can right click - view files etc.).

One question tho... how the hell do you install applications without ActiveSync?!?!

:D

should be the same way....?? Just double click on the desktop setup and it should automatically install it, or drag and drop the cab file into the device and run it from there

There is also an icon for active sync in the control panel which does not seem to work if wmp has bonded to the phone , vista seems a nice upgrade but sadly not for most laptops as rc2 shows the direction its going :( , it seems for lappys the home basic ( when its released ) will be the system , which is a poor version as it misses so many good features from the top end version and what you miss it would be better to stay with xp but knowing us modaco guys we will upgrade just for the fresher look :rolleyes:

Vista is a great laptop OS, better than XP in many ways Peekie... so why do you say that?

Hi guys,

I installed Vista RC1 yesterday, I cannot figure out how to sync with it. AS is a no-no, and the only options I can find on the new mobile device centre are to sync media and browse files.

What about mails, calendar, tasks and contacts!?

Another Vista related question. Santa is about to come early and drop a 17" Acer Aspire down my chimmney this week (gently I hope!).

Thanks to my MSDN account, I've also got the release version of Vista. Am tempted to upgrade (to Ultimate) before doing much else to the lappy, but was wondering whether anyone has had any problems synching on 2 machines, one with Vista, the other with XP via ActiveSync?
