- The new utility syncs your data with Windows Live Services. That means your contacts, music, videos, and photos will be accessible online from any computer with a web browser.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire.

Maybe we can get my MotoQ9M to actually work with existing ActiveSync before they release betas.
Plug in phone = Activesync cannot connect to the windows mobile device.
Tried all the uncheck advanced network settings.
No support anywhere.
TOTAL CRAP!

It amazes me it has taken Microsoft this long to make something like this. They even have a whole business section around cellphones...

I just tried it and I must say that I'm actually happy and surprised with it. I don't have much good impressions from Microsoft software in general...
