That said, as a Palm user since 1996-97, I would find it difficult to believe that Palm would abandon completely the user base they have (millions?) and make the new system unable to port over the Palm Desktop data. I do believe they will have a different version as they do for Vista, but it should be backwards-compatible.
That is strictly my opinion and not based on any knowledge or fact.
I might be inclined to hedge my bets though and create a backup of my data residing in Outlook because I believe that would continue to be supported, but again, it is a guess as to what they will do.
I am sure that as it draws closer this will be discussed ad-nauseum and people will have plenty of warning and time to prepare.
It is probably not something to lose sleep over....

Steve--not sure what you mean by "create a backup of my data residing in Outlook...." How do I transfer all the stuff in my Palm Desktop to Outlook??
To complicate things, I guess I would have to create an additional "user" in Outlook since my Outlook has all kinds of stuff / contacts that I don't need or want in my Treo.
