ActiveSync versus Windows Moile Device Centre

I am currently using Vista with Windows Mobile DEvice Centre to synch my WM5
PDA with desktop.

However, due to massive reliability issues with Vista, I am going to have to
upgrade to Windows XP. So unfortunately I will no longer be able to use
WMDC. What will I miss when using ActiveSync on XP?

The one difference is that old AS was less reliable at synching music flies
from WMP11. That being said, Vista really is horrible... I was an early
adopter over a year ago but still use XP at work, what a difference.

The one thing that might help you with Vista is adding a ton of memory
(4GB). The memory management is really terrible... supposedly an
improvement... You can also use a USB memory stick.
