SyncToy PowerToy Beta Availalble from Microsoft
The next in a long line of PowerToys for Windows is almost here, and if you're an early adopter you can get your hands on the beta.

synchronize folders between PCs, this utility looks like it might be
worth your time. Given its classification as a "PowerToy",
Microsoft does not officially support it. However, if it lives up to
the quality of the other PowerToys for XP, this will not be a problem.
I must mention that the process that is required now to download software
from Microsoft is so time consuming (with all the Windows Genuine
Advantage garbage) that you may find jumping through the hoops isn't
worth it.
