And that is a fine possibility for syncing your mail, contacts, and calendars. However syncing Outlook data or the other PIM data via USB could be a totally different story.

If you would like to avoid Google as a layman, things get harder.
The Missing synchronize for Android cost $39.95; syncs calendars, contacts, tasks, and notes with Microsoft Outlook. Another option is CompanionLink for Android worth $49.95.
