Vista Windows Mobile Device Center Walk Through

"Since I installed Windows Vista yesterday, I had to set up the Windows Mobile Device Center. I use an Exchange Server (Which by the way works well with Outlook 2007) so I rarely sync anymore, but for when I do, I have to be ready. This walk through has over 25 screenshots, I hope you enjoy."

Chris Leckness is walking us through the Windows Mobile Device Center in Windows Vista. I haven't played much with Windows Vista's RTM version and somehow I am not compelled to run Vista on my daily use computer. What about you? Are you already running Vista RTM or planning to upgrade immediately once Vista is released?

I've been running vista on my old aged and dying thinkpad. Overall I really like it. I can't wait for new hardware to start shipping with Vista - I plan to get something pre-installed once it's available. Cool

My experience with Vista so far is best described here on my blog. While I like it I'm a bit irked that even at this late date, a lot of things still don't run on it or have drivers ready. That said, I will transition over as soon as everything I need is up and running!

For me it a combination of drivers and application compatibility. The biggest one, I cannot print. Rolling Eyes

Anyway Microsoft is promising that on launch date the situation would be different. Let's see.

It's strange, I connected my T-Mobile Dash to Vista Ultimate RTM and I didn't get the WMDC...I was only prompted to set up a sync partnership with Windows Media Player. Confused

I had to download it separately. I am using the MSDN RTM version.

Thats what I thought. To make matters worse once the device was discoverd by windows without WMDC, then it was never found by it! To date I cannot sync my BlackJack on Vista for that reason.

I don't know what version I have - I think it's beta 2. I might try downloading and installing beta 3 just to be sure.
