Bluethooth PAN conection between Palm Pre and Windows XP

I have not worked with bluetooth syncing before.  I have a user that has an older dell laptop (xp sp3) with a third party bluetooth keyboard and mouse, with a usb bluetooth adapter (the laptop does not have an internal bt adapter).    He wants to sync his shiny new Palm Pre to outlook via bluetooth.   Is XP capable of doing this, and is there a way to do it with the existing bluetooth adapter, which was included with the mouse and keyboard bundle?

xp is certainly capable of it, but your keyboard/mouse adapter most likely isnt...

the services offered to the PAN depend only on the capabilities of the bluetooth adapter

bryon, you're probably right, but i was hoping to get a more definitive and detailed answer.
for that, we'll need a definitive part number of the bluetooth adapter :)
alright bryon, you've raised my expectations :)
