Default Pocket PC's installed software after a desktop's format
I wonder what happens in the following situation:

Most common pocket applications are installed on the desktop and then (with Active Sync) are passed to the pocket device. In that way you can use the desktop to remove software from the pocket device or reinstall it.
Now, what if you have to format your desktop pc? What happens with the software already installed on the pocket, but missing from the desktop?

What will happen when you will establish a new partnership and Active Sync will find in the pocket software that does not exist on the desktop?

Can anybody give me a clue? It would be mostly appreciated.
Best Regards.

it leaves the software on the pda and if you want it off you need to use remove programs in settings

if it would auto remove it when you sync'd then it would be a problem when people sync'd with more then one computer which many does
hhhmm ok i may be a jerk but i'm a jedi jerk like my father was before me

The applications stay on the Pocket PC. I've already done that a few times.
