ActiveSync is no more for Microsoft Windows Vista and is getting a face lift called the Windows Mobile Device Center.

Currently it is available as a Release Candidate 3 (RC3) for download.

Windows Mobile Device Center is the new name for ActiveSync in Microsoft Windows Vista, and provides overall device management features for your Windows Mobile-based devices in Windows Vista, including smartphones and pocket PCs. All of the features previously available in ActiveSync are available in Windows Vista, including synchronization and setting up your partnership.

However, most of the user interface has changed in an effort to enhance your ability to easily and intuitively find device-related tasks and improve the overall usability of those tasks.

The Windows Mobile Device Center is an “add-on” to Windows Vista.

Windows Mobile Device Center RC3 is available for the following versions of Microsoft Windows Vista RC1.

# Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (x86 and 64-bit)
# Microsoft Windows Vista Professional (x86 and 64-bit)
# Microsoft Windows Vista Premium (x86 and 64-bit)
# Microsoft Windows Vista Server (x86 and 64-bit)
# Microsoft Windows Vista Home (x86 and 64-bit)
# Microsoft Outlook XP, and Microsoft Outlook 2003 messaging and collaboration clients
# Microsoft Office XP
# Microsoft Office 2003

The following mobile device operating systems are supported by Windows Mobile Device Center Beta:

# Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0
# Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0
# Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
