Vista - Using SyncCenter to sync with two PC's and Thumbdrives..

02-19-2008

On the Vista Features website, it states "The new Sync Center is a convenient
central location in Windows Vista from which you can manage data
synchronization between PCs, between PCs and servers, and between PCs and
devices. The importance of this capability grows all the time as the range of
computers, devices, locations, and data sources has exploded."

Now, how do I go amongst this? I certainly hope they are not talking about
Offline Files when they mention that. I would assume that Synchronization
between PC's would behave somewhat like SyncToy does. Furthermore, would a
device such as a thumbdrive not be considered something sync-able? I mean
come on..

Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks!

As far as I know this just refers to offline files.
