Good news for BlackBerry owners who tether their phones—RIM has made the process easier by including a built-in version in the leaked 5.0.1. Desktop Manager update.

The pre-release version is available now in English and multilingual versions for those anxious to give it a spin. As always, make sure you have a plan that supports tethering so you don’t accidentally run up an outrageous data bill. [The BlackBerry Ninja via IntoMobile]

I installed Desktop Manager 5.0.1.18 on a Vista machine and the ip modem option shows. I installed the same software on a Dell XPS laptop running XP and the ip modem option doesn’t show. It’s usless on the desktop, and unavailable on the laptop. Is this an XP problem?
