Should, if you change the name you will wind up with a new copy. If you
don't change the name, AS/WMDC just looks at last saved dates to determine
the most recent copy and that one will be kept across both platforms. I have
to believe that moving the file to the XP box, editing it, and saving it
back to the device will give it a later file date than the copy of that file
left back at the Vista box. If you are at all concerned about important
files, leave the file name the same but do a save-as with a different name
for backup, until you are comfortable. When using multiple PCs, and some of
us, multiple mobile devices, it is not hard to forget what you changed
between syncs, on what device, and lose something. Tends to be an operator
error more than a sync error though.
