Basic Microsoft Active sync info??

[jbearamus]

if you want the conspiracy theory answer: its because microsoft wants you to buy more software so they can make more money
the point of activesync is just to be a bridge for your device to your computer. it can be used to install stuff and enable file explorer to access your device but that's about it on it's own.
palm went the extra mile and included the palm desktop (i think that's what its called) which is actually a separate piece of software, but they threw it in anyway.

yea that is what it is exactly called. my bro has the 755 and I clown him for not having a windows phone. Now he is clowning me. Palm Desktop syncs everything!!

So all in all my files and contacts are lost?
