Spotted this article at microsoft:

has anybody tried it? Does this mean that you can connect your phone to your PC without installing 3rd party software?

Hi!

Well, in practical... I'm not sure. I guess that the 3rd party software must be compatible in some kind, but if they follow the Bluetooth standard to 100%, the hardware should be able to be used directly through Windows XP without 3rd party software.

Anyone got practical experiences of this with SP1?
