SyncToy, a utility that assists with keeping all of your data synchronized between your PCs, has been officially released after a brief beta period.

From the download page:

We listened to your feedback. SyncToy was released as a beta in early August 2005. We collected feedback from the discussion forum on the Windows XP Professional Photography web site, from the customer feedback survey in the product (to access the online survey, open SyncToy and select Help, then select Customer Feedback), from a large number of professional and hobbyist photographers at Microsoft, and from various world-wide forums, sites, reviews and blogs on the web. Most of you (55%) asked for the ability to type in a UNC path to select a folder. We added this feature between the beta release and the current v1.0 release. Features we added in response to customer feedback include:

• The ability to type in a UNC path;

• Support for longer folder pair names and ability to widen the left pane to see those longer names;

• The ability to support the maximum length for folder paths, and documentation was added to the help file about how to set up a share to be able to sync deep folder pairs;

• Better handling of the difference in precision between NTFS and FAT timestamps;

• More discoverable link to the help file for information on how to schedule SyncToy using the Windows XP Task Scheduler;

• Support for 800x600 screen resolution;

• Added a warning for users if the selected action will take some time to complete;

• Added brief explanations of the actions in the user interface;

• Improved behavior when choosing folders to include or exclude when there are large numbers of folders involved;

• Improved support for accessibility modes.
