Dell Axim X51v only syncs with WXP machines?

[ironhorse]

I've heard this and wondered if it was a rumor or true? I can't believe that MS and/or Dell would release a product that will not sync with W2K at least. Is there a workaround if this is true? Can you use an older version of active sync on the Axim and PC?

This would have to be the dumbest marking/technical screwup I've ever heard of. I'm sitting here thinking maybe I should buy a X51v but this has me wondering.
