Active Sync 3.8

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Darin,

The description of what 3.8 fixes has been vague. A lot of users have
posted no problems with the upgrade while others have run into issues. My
advice is just stay put unless you have a necessary reason to upgrade. If
3.7.1 is working for you, just stick with it. My .02

Regards,

I had to upgrade to 3.8 to install a SanDisk WiFi card. I haven't had any
problems yet.

I use 3.7 with no problems. If it ain't broke don't fix it is my
motto.

Don't bother. I am still on 3.7.1. The main changes are changes to the
defaults when it installs, like disallowing network access by default.
It is mainly to help with security issues. If you should get a new PC
though, go ahead and start with 3.8. Might as well have the latest if
you have to install anyway, but there is no need to upgrade if you are
already on 3.7.1.

I upgraded and have not experienced any problems. I can't remember exactly
why I convinced myself to upgrade! I'm using an i-mate Jam with PPC 2003 SE.
