What happened to ActiveSync?

Microsoft replaced ActiveSync with Windows Mobile Device Center, an improved version of the software for use with computers running Windows Vista. You must use this new program to sync your Windows Mobile device in Windows Vista. The first time you plug a Windows Mobile device into a computer that is connected to the Internet and running Windows Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center should automatically download and install on the computer. After you set up your device to sync in Windows Mobile Device Center, the sync results will appear in Sync Center.

Note

Note

Windows Mobile Device Center does not run on Windows Mobile devices. Windows Mobile devices still use ActiveSync.
