No, ActiveSync (WMDC on Vista) can only work with Office Outlook.

Re: active sync with window calendar and contacts

Can anybody in the name of whatever god you believe in tell my WHY ISN'T THIS
POSSIBLE? I received Outlook XP with my WM phone and it doesn't work with my
Office 2007. There is no way I am shelling out more money for Outlook. I'd
rather buy and iPhone and switch to mac while I am at it.
I really don't get it. Why a WINDOWS Mobile device cannot sync with WINDOWS
calendar?
What does the "Sync" button do, then?

Re: active sync with window calendar and contacts

In the Windows world, Outlook has always been required if you need to sync
with a mobile device. This is not a new Vista requirement. Most mobile
devices like PDAs come with a copy of Outlook. Because Vista needed
to change to a different and more secure mechanism, versions of Outlook
older than 2003 are not fully compatible.
