    Greetings

    Thanks for the info on my buying decision. I purchased the Asus M50Sv-B1.

    I am using this for work etc. I have Office Professional XP on my desktop at home and an HTC Touch.

    I like Outlook and am thinking for transferring the Office program to the laptop rather than pay for another license for Office 2007. This way I can always have my contacts with me on the phone and the laptop when convenient.

    I can work something out for my desktop or use my wifes laptop for what I need as it has Office XP Home Edition.

    Itching to get going with the laptop so any and all advice would be welcomed.

    Regards
    EJM

    (Home computers are XP)

    Just use the sync center, you can select the contacts to sync with outlook (on the touch), and outlook on the pc...
    I have an HTC touch cruise..

    Thanks for the speedy replies.

    I have heard there are issues with Office XP and the Vista operating system.
