Re: Interesting Article on Windows 7

[John Garison <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

In my investigations into the possibility of moving to W7, I looked into 
a program I had used previously to migrate my applications to a new 
laptop. Laplink's PCmover provides a way of installing W7 and of moving 
all your current applications - Office, Dreamweaver, etc., plus email 
and your desktop setup - to the new install whether it's on the same 
machine or a new one. It saves a LOT of time not having to reinstall 
everything! PCmover can also be used to upgrade your existing PC from 
Windows XP to Windows 7.

And the article I read said that it was Vista users who were getting 
into a never-ending reboot cycle during upgrade to W7.

Full disclosure: I am not affiliated at all with Laplink, and have not 
used it to move to W7 yet. But if I do upgrade, I'll use it. It worked 
flawlessly when I moved all my apps and data from an old computer to a 
newer one.

My 2¢,

John G
