One major issue is he's using a mix of cutting edge (Touch and Office 2007) on a system that is 4 years old (XP and Active sync). One thing in general I find and I'm sure other have if you want to stay cutting edge then you need to be consistent and keep it all cutting edge. Also be prepared for cutting edge problems.
If he went into a store and bought a new Vista and Office 2007 machine I'm sure it would sync up and work fine. But he has an older setup with some history and it takes a bit of experience to clean that all up.
I agree with others. Palm is brain dead. It tend to be stable because of it's lack of features and change. You could make the same argument to have stayed with the older version of office which also probably would have worked.

"cutting edge" has nothing to do with anything. I'm running AS on a 5 year old laptop with XP Pro and Office 2007 and sync just fine with my Touch. I did, however, have to reinstall Office because it wouldn't sync at first. AS is incredibly finnicky.
Also, your recommendation of staying with the old version of Office makes no sense since AS can't sync with anything below Office 2007 if you want to sync everything.
