Non-Vista users: ActiveSync 4.5 is finally out of beta!
• Faster file transfer speed and photo sync via Outlook are only available for Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices.
• Remote PC Sync (via WiFi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues.
• Customers using Microsoft Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 with devices running the Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 will benefit from the following feature enhancements included in ActiveSync 4.5: Direct Push Technology, local device wipe, and certificate powered authentication to Microsoft Exchange.
• Microsoft® Outlook® 2000 is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5. It is highly recommended that users upgrade to Microsoft® Outlook® 2003 messaging and collaboration client.

Mostly speed and stability improvements if you use an Exchange server (like 4Smartphone, hint hint), but probably not a bad idea to upgrade if you:
- Don’t use Vista (you’d want the Windows Mobile Device Center instead)
- Have a Windows Mobile 5 device (2003 and earlier devices are better served by ActiveSync 3.8 if you can still find it)
