Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista Released
"The Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 enables you to set up new partnerships, synchronize content and manage music, pictures and video with any Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0 powered device. Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 is only supported on builds of Windows Vista� RC1 or later."
Whether you've installed Windows Vista RC1 or RC2 (just released) for day-to-day activities or a mere poke around, you may be interested in the Windows Mobile Device Center Beta, which enables full sync support for Pocket PCs and Smartphones running Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0. As always, be aware of the risks associated with the use of beta software (and I'm sure you would be, given you're using a pre-release version of Windows Vista), so be sure to backup your device and computer prior to installation. There are two versions of WMDC available for download: x86 and AMD64. If you get around to installing it and syncing your device with Windows Vista, share your thoughts here.

OK,
I've finished installing Vista RC2 and then I installed the update from Microsoft.
All is working great with my older iPAQ 1945.

As mentioned in the post, you can sync WM2003 and WM5 devices. If you have anything that runs Pocket PC 2002 or below, you're out of luck.

To my understanding, no.

Does it sync with Outlook (appointments, contacts, tasks, etc)? I've been holding off installing Vista RC1 until I can sync my Windows Mobile 2003 OS device with Outlook on my Desktop (like ActiveSync).

Yes, it does. This is the final piece of the Windows Mobile + Windows Vista sync puzzle that has been missing for the past couple of months. With WMDC, you'll have full Outlook and media sync functionality and file browsing support.

I think WiFi syncing is gone, never to be seen again.

On the Microsoft site it doesn't say anything about Office 2007 Beta 2 or Beta 2 Technical Refresh.
Anyone running Microsoft � Windows Mobile � Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista with Office 2007?
