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.
I use active sync 4.5 with Outlook 2003 and the touch. I had absolutely no problems syncing email, contacts, calendar, and notes. I eventually ditched that and started syncing OTA directly to the exchange 2003 server so that I no longer have to connect my phone to my computer. You don't need version 2007 of anything for the touch to work well. I don't know why you would say,

I have no intention of upgrading to exchange 2007, office 2007, or vista anytime soon, and I have no need to. If I'm missing something, please tell me, but otherwise don't spread misinformation.
