- Microsoft announced the "Messaging and Security Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0", for wireless email, calendar, and tasks. Automatically pushes email, calendar, contact, and task information in Outlook through Exchange Server to a Windows Mobile-based device, as well as supporting over-the-air lookup of global address list information in Exchange. New capabilities are delivered for IT administrators too, such as policy enforcement, over-the-air device reset, and certificate-based authentication. Comment: Does this mean that everyone in the world that has a Windows Mobile- or Pocket PC-based device will have to buy a new one that runs Windows Mobile 5.0 before being able to do this? If so, this is a classic example of Microsoft doing the wrong thing by the customer ... forcing them to upgrade stuff on Microsoft's schedule. Microsoft
