I just got a Dell Optiplex 380 Desktop Computer with Vista, and I cannot set up a partnership with my HP Jornada 720. Vista doesn't support ActiveSync, so I can't use the disk that came with it. Is there any way I can set up a partnership? Can I use Windows Mobile Device Center? Or Will I have to somehow get ActiveSync?

If you use Serial to Sync then Virtual PC 2007 SP1 + Windows XP + ActiveSync will do the trick, if you want to use USB then you'll need VMWare or Windows 7 and XP Mode.

You would have thought that someone would have written a simple sync program by now that would run on any machine...

Just out of curiosity, Chris, if a user employs your "VMWare or Windows 7 and XP Mode" and installs AS 3.8, would wifi synching also be available?
