I did some research and discovered that the Microsoft synchronization is tied to Client-Side Cacheing or Offline Files. I could see some advantages in taking this approach but when I went to set it up on my laptop I discovered that the Offline Files tab is missing. My desktop with XP Pro has it but my laptop with XP Home does not so I guess I'll try the Syncback approach.
