No, that is a part of what they did but it is not all they did. Blind anti-Apple bashing is just as juvenile as Apple fanboi-ism IMO. And if you don't have an Exchange server through your work, where pray tell do you get hosted Exchange for free for your WM device? And does it sync photos and files? And does it sync to native Mac applications on your Mac (I'm not talking about syncing to Office for Mac) and Outlook on your PCs? I'm not sure how well this all works, but I'll definitely be checking out the free trial come July. If it does work, they will have provided a great cross-platform (Mac+PC) information syncing solution.
I agree that the ActiveStink comment was a low blow and not befitting of them, but weren't they referring to the desktop to mobile Sync component (also known as Windows Mobile Device Center under Vista)? That component truly is worthy of the name "ActiveStink" and has been called such by many WM fans on this and many other PPC-fan sites.
