I have vista home premium. I want to sync my pda that uses Windows Mobile
2003 second edition, with Outlook. I currently have Outlook 2002. Hence, I
know that I need to upgrade my Outlook. I just wanted to be sure that any
version of Outlook 2003 or newer would sync with Vista, using Windows mobile
device center. I have read that Microsoft is working on making the Vista
built in contact and calendar sync at some time in the future...but I am not
sure if this is true how long it will be. thank you.

You are not asking an Outlook question. Ask in a Windows Mobile group.

I believe either Outlook 2003 or 2007 will sync with Windows Mobile Device
Center, but I haven't tried it.

Do you mean Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition? It should.

I believe that the Outlook version of any of the Office 2003/2007 suites
containing it should work.

Outlook 2002 is not Vista-compatible and that's documented. ActiveSync is
not Vista-compatible and that's documented. Never update your operating
system to a version that doesn't support the software you want to use.
Check first if the software you have will run on the newer OS before doing
an upgrade.
