What kind of idiots work at Microsoft that wold release a business
tool like "Business Contact Manager" and NOT let it synch up to a
Pocket PC. Is the friggin' Outlook Team working out of a cave or
what? The management structure for Outlook should be immediately
reorganized for this decision.

The Outlook and Mobile Device teams are completely separate operations.
What made you think that they are one and the same??

It is up to the Mobile device folks to decide what and what does not get
included in PPC functionality, not the other way around.

What kind of idiot gets on a support forum and shows how
much of a TOOL he is??....Business Contact Manager runs on
SQL (MSDE). How do you figure you are going to install SQL
on your Pocket PC??? I dont think it's your Pocket PC
that is out of sync tough guy!

What fun it is to read newsgroups! Silly, testosterone-drenched
comments objecting to comments because they are silly and/or drenched
with testosterone. Revealing, though--I've learned already that MS
defenders think that MS should not be held accountable for serving its
customers because it is divided into divisions. And Pocket PC users
think that a handheld has to be able to run the same program as the
desktop does in order to synch the data. Keep it up, I may learn more!
(But please don't sign your names; it might turn out I know you, and
that WOULD be embarassing.)

Hi, Dan - I understand your frustration, but note that posting a less
vitriolic message might get you better results in usenet support groups.

Too late, already signed mine, and I hope we do meet face to face someday so
we can discuss this in a freer manner than news groups allow.
