activesync
“Activesync is truely (sic) a piece of shit where installing software on your pda also inserts an item into your desktop.” [*]
Word.
(Installing and removing software on WinCE with self-deleting cab files… ugh… I don’t want to get started.)
Activesync also has one of the most disorganized program settings interfaces, and it makes no sense. There has been no improvement (save for the changing colors of icons in the GUI) since the earliest versions. Notably, it has no security, so the hack-around solution to make wifi synch’ing work in the past, is no longer supported in the newest versions. The pda file system view also is not a native file system driver, so any file manipulation on the pc is crippled.
