Well there is at least the Windows Nokia PC suite which will do
backing-up, synchronising, etc.

I do think that users should be able to do more from the PC though (and
preferably from a unified piece of sw), e.g. updating, installing sw, as
well as the backup and sync already provided. Something like the PsiWin
stuff for the Psion.
