Vista - View sync status before perform the sync actions with Vista offlinefiles

Hi,

I use Briefcase in Windows XP and are quite happy with it. The
briefcase in windows XP able to report the file status (up-to-date or
need updating) in windows explorer. I can know from the file/folder
status immediately if the file has changed by me locally or other in the
file server. When click the Update/Update All, I can further see the
suggested action and I can choose the action I want to perform before
syncing the files/folders.

The briefcase continue supports in Windows Vista. However, I found the
open the briefcase in vista is very slow in vista. The briefcase has
about 30-40k files. But this volume of briefcase is fast in Windows XP.
Does anyone has similar experience? I also experience the vista
briefcase sometime may report to sync files which I have sync with my
server. I quite certain that the report shown is incorrect.

I then try the offline files feature in vista. I am happy with the sync
speed. However, the sync center is unable to show me a list of
available updates for the files in the offline files folder. This make
us unaware of which file has updated. Besides, there isn't a way to let
us choose the update action (skip, update) for each items we want before
syncing the files/folders. Perhaps there are solution for this that I
am not aware of. Please advice.

Thank you very much.
