"Very good upgrade to my original"
Version: Palm Desktop 6.2
Pros
This program downloaded and installed seamlessly. The upgrade is not particularly noticeable, although it runs well and has a few new perks.
Cons
The hotsync is not operable with this version either since I have a 64 bit system. My biggest complaint with this is that although my Palm z22 was not a year old when I got Vista, I could not use it on that version of windows. I had to use it with my daughter's XP. Then she went to windows 7 and I could use it there. I got a new computer and it is a 64 bit system. And now her's is too. Since my palm works fine and has so much data stored on it I can't seem to get it to sync with anything. So My grandson gave me an old laptop with 32 bit but "slow as molasses In January" and I use it there. I know these computer companies like "planned obsolescence" but it tee's me off. And since I am on social security I can't afford to replace something that works I'll have to settle for that. I downloaded on that and all works fine. Thanks for listening to my complaint. Maybe you can talk someone into creating a driver for 64bit systems. You's make a lot of palm owners happy.
Summary
It's good if you have 32 bit systems.

"No major problems w/download."
Version: Palm Desktop 6.2
Pros
Not able to comment since I don't use added features.
Cons
None noted thus far.
Summary
No particular problems downloading to Windows XP desk-top/Palm T/X. Did not lose any data. Have not tried to figure-out how to back-up my data for handheld - in case everything were to get lost during 1st Hot-Sync (which occured automatically during set-up). Kind of scary - although I also sync w/a laptop - so data is backed-up there.
