Back in April
we whined complained
about how syncing your Windows phone with Windows (the desktop
operating system) took a few steps too many. You had to manually go out
and find the software (ActiveSync for you XP users, Mobile Device Center
for Vista and Windows 7).
Our cries have been heard.
With
the Release Candidate version of Windows 7 (that's Build 7100, for those
keeping track at home), everything's taken care of for you. We'd heard
as much from
PocketNow but just had to try it ourselves. Here's my experience:
- Phil plugged in his trusty ol' Moto Q9h.
- Windows 7 downloaded and installed some drivers.
- Mobile Device Center was automatically downloaded and installed.
- Phil thrust his arms in the air in celebration, sounded a barbaric yawp and immediately began a post praising Microsoft's foresight.
OK,
it's not perfect. There really are no dialog boxes telling you what's
going on, and the process isn't as quick as I'd like. It took a couple
of minutes to install the drivers and software, which in and of itself
was fine. But there basically were no dialog boxes (other than the one
saying drivers were being installed) to let the user know what was going
on. But we're not going to let that rain on our parade.
