I'm not MS-hater per se, but those Redmond guys really can't get it right on the first shot. Take the windows clock synchronization thing, for example. It's a great idea, really. Only missing is a small checkbox, "that's summer saving time around here, pal". At least as an advanced option or something. Wishing to control your system clock, is it really such an exagerated request?
Anyway, the reason for which we've gathered here today isn't the implications religion politics in Israel on global software industry. It's the implications of MS win xp SP2 bluetooth support on the mental health of bluetooth users.

Bluetooth has of course been here for some time now, but MS has only recently discovered it. Since Service Pack 2 of Windows xp, there's a built-in support from Microsoft for bluetooth devices. Guess what? it sucks. It really does. Each time I tried to connect to my phone, something else broke. So yesterday, after 2 hours of frustrating effort to copy two pictures from the phone to the computer, I decided it was high time to do what every other bluetooth site\forum post suggest: downgrade.
Before the MS bluetooth times, there was a company called Widcomm who did virtually all the bluetooth drivers for windows. Wish MS would've acted its usual way, and just bought the logic from Widcomm, because that one is, errr, working. So I just moved to using Widcomm drivers. And guess what, it works smoothly. Really. I'll soon put the two pictures here, they worth it.

If you like to downgrade as well, here's what you have to do.
First you need a Widcomm driver for your bluetooth device. If you happen to use IBM ThinkPad with integrated bluetooth (oh yes!), what you need is "
IBM Integrated Bluetooth II software" (notice the II, don't download the III, as it's MS-based). You can get it here.
Then you have to replace the driver. I've roughly followed the instructions in this post. If you're a ThinkPad user, instead of connecting and disconnecting the bluetooth device, you just turn in on and off using Fn+F5.

Good luck.
