This is bound to please those that took note of not being able to connect to ActiveSync over IP.

You may still need it. Some Windows Mobile programs will only install from the desktop.

You can kinda do that with Outlook and Mesh on the desktop right now. And for businesses that want similar functionality but want to be owners of their data there is Microsoft Office Groove (yeah, almost no one has heard of it despit it being available for 2 years now), though Groove doesn't sync to phones [yet].
