Windows Mobile Device Center (previously ActiveSync)
Windows Vista introduces a new method for device synchronization called Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). This method replaces ActiveSync.
With this new method you do not need to install the ActiveSync software on your Getting Started Disc (if provided). Microsoft ActiveSync is not compatible with Windows Vista because WMDC replaces it. However you can still run the Getting Started Disc in order to install the User Guide or any included Bonus Applications.
