In Vista, ActiveSync is known as Windows Mobile Device Center. I haven't quite figured out how to use the BrailleNote as a Braille display or how to use a USB connection to go on the Net on the BrailleNote under Vista. This is a utility that is built-in and I believe as of Service Pack 1. It can be found by typing in Mobile into the Start Menu or under Control Pannel. I wish I had more knowledge in this area.
