Look for "Windows Mobile Device Center" from Microsoft. XP had "Active Sync"
and this is the Vista version. The file name is "drvupdate-x86.exe"

Aloha,

Re: Sync You PDA with Windows Vista Mail and Calender

Sorry, but you can't. Microsoft are being pretty cagey about admitting out
loud that the calendar and mail programs built into Vista don't sync with
mobile devices. This is especially bad when the OEM-supplied versions of
Outlook (2002) won't work under Vista, which means, essentially, that Windows
Mobile devices do not synchronise with Windows Vista unless you spend £99
more to buy Outlook 2007.

Ouch.

Sneaking this through just seems like a surefire way to give lots of PDA
buyers a nasty surprise they won't be happy about.
