Fortunately I installed Vista Ultimate on a spare HD, and tested it in dual boot mode. I didn't enter the license because I planed on reinstalling in on the main HD once I was satisfied. I let the 30 days go, and haven't reinstalled it.
The main reason is that they made it so that their OWN software, Active sync will not install on Vista. They want everyone to switch to a new product Windows Mobile Device Center(WMDC). Unfortunately, they made it so that WMDC will not work with Microsoft OS PDAs(PPCs) running any OS before 2003. So after I got Vista Ultimate, 1GB extra of ram, and need a new video card to get the new features to work, they want me to replace my PDA. I can't believe that MS Active sync, which the last version released Feb 2007 wasn't coded up to specs.
What really makes makes MS look bad is that I have heard that PalmOS PDAs will all work with Vista.
There is another thing to consider. It doesn't even matter if you get the newest Mobile OS that they will be releasing, OR get a phone with it. Since they have shown that they will cut off their old mobile OS's, who knows if they will work with the OS after Vista.
Since I can't sync my MS OS PDA in Vista, I have stopped using it. It doesn't make me want to go to Vista, AND it makes me worried to get ANY PDA, or phone with an MS OS running on it.
