USB driver without installing Active Sync?

[dishe]

um... wm5torage is free. Developed by a programmer hobbiest, as you call it.
Its not something built into WM, and this is normal. In fact, there are many USB devices, PDAs and MP3 players alike, that need 3rd party drivers, so I don't understand why you'd be upset that a propietary function such emulating a USB Mass Storage Device wouldn't be included.


By the way, it just so happens that Windows XP (and most any current OS) includes USB Mass Storage device as a standard driver, but it was not so long ago that with older versions of windows, you had to install drivers manually for even using a memory stick keychain!
Vista now has built in support for WinMob devices, so they are actually plug and play, but for the many of us who still use other / older operating systems, its would be a nice feature... but not one that should be expected out of the box.

So, I beg to differ, this is not the proverbial "bullsh1t", as you so elequently put it. Read the previous thread again, and you'll have your answers.
