Just in case you haven’t heard yet, Palm has updated their Desktop for Windows to include support for Vista users.  According to the directions it is not recommended for other Windows users such as XP.  Also, it does not support all Palm devices and is English only.  So check and make sure your device is listed.  It’s Beta, but a friend of mine has installed it (she owns a Palm TX) and it works for her so far.  Now she can get rid of her ailing XP machine.
