Kevin, No and no. When I've plugged my BrailleNote to my home Toshiba laptop with Vista Ultimate (yes, I've upgraded it from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate), an autorun box appeared, giving me a choice of either cyncing info or viewing files using Windows Explorer. An additional item, Windows Mobile Center is added to the Control Panel when this happens. The ActiveSync sound is played on my BrailleNote, indicating that Sync Center has connected to the Windows Mobile device. That's what I have for now. P.S. If you or anyone have any questions about using Vista for the first time, write to me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll explain what really has changed (I recommend that you do not perform Upgrade, as this will make your Vista unstable; instead, install it from scratch - that is, clean install it). Cheers, Joseph

And, no I have not tried using an actual Vista machine to test this with, this is based on the documentation that I have read. Have you tried testing the synchronization of files and transfering Office 2007 files to the BrailleNote?
