Turn on Windows XP SP2 Compatibility for Juice to make it work on Vista

So if you installed Juice for downloading Podcasts and are wondering why it won't work - this is it. Summarised here:

1. Open Explorer and locate the Juice.exe file.
2. Right-click on Juice.exe and choose Properties.
3. Click the Compatibility tab.
4. Select "Run this program in compatibility mode for".
5. Make sure that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.
6. Click OK.

Windows Mobile Device Center is still in Beta

During the RC days of Vista earlier in 2006 I was impressed with the simplicity of just plugging in my Windows Mobile 5 PDA Phone and it all being a cinch to sync. No Active Sync misery (although the latest versions have improved).

Having recently upgraded from XP to Vista RTM I plugged in my same phone only for very little to happen except to be offered to browse my phone filesystem or sync Windows Media. Errr - I'd like to setup a partnership...

Turns out that Windows Mobile Device Center is still in Beta and you can download it here. Seems to work fine for me. I wonder what is holding it back from RTM?
