Remember, this <i>is</i> pre-release software, and more changes will likely be made before it gets it official stamp of approval, so it's obviously not recommended to roll this out if your business depends on it, if you've don't want to mess with an already good setup, and so on. That being said, if you're still looking to try it, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync42.mspx">this</a> is where you should pick it up.

I read somewhere that Wi-Fi Sync was re-added. Apparently this was wrong. :(

And what is "Lunar Sync"?

Indeed, it is absent from v4.2.

And what is "Lunar Sync"?

I assume you're referring to the improved synchronisation of lunar calendar appointments? I believe it only affects people who make use of lunar calendars, such as the Chinese calendar or Islamic calendar. If you're not in that cohort, the added feature is of little concern.

so the update is only a bunch of patch for non-common bugs.

dissapointed :-(
