Question : Problem: Can I run Blackberry Professional Software on WinXP ?

Hello gurus,
I recently bought a BB Bold and was scanning what options I have.
since in my company I have exchange 2003 I thought that maybe I could run the BPS on a windows XP and connect
to that server ?
In that case I would be able to sync my emails/calendar/address book right ?

And in that case will WIFI connection be enough ?? or I would still need a Data plan ?

Thanks for your help/

You can not officially install BPS on XP. See:

As for other options you could vmware workstation, still need to install windows 2003 server on the vmware, then you could install BPS in the VM instance.

As for the WIFI, you will need a data plan for BPS, so wifi will not work in that situation.
