I downloaded the software yesterday and for some reason couldn't instsall it. :?

After playing around with my applications and add-ons I resorted to removing SP2 and reinstalling it and Activsync 8.

Now that it's installed I hope it will keep active connections to my mobile devices without occasionally dropping them.

I read something about AS 4.0 coming out with the release of WindowsMobile 2005 - any one got any (ahem) leaks about that?

Ahem, yes. There might have even been some pictures of it someplace.....
