        <description><![CDATA[Ok, this is a nice idea, but there are free tools which claim to do this also.  Theres vmConverter from VMware, and disk2VHD from Microsoft.  However these will only work with retail Windows XP installs.  Will this work with OEM also?  Otherwise, its a waste of $90.  And why bother with this at all, even if it can?  Why can't you use xpMode and copy your files?  If this is an old install, you'll probably be better off doing a fresh install of your programs anyhow.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My VMware was free, I already have XP3, so the whole thing was free...somewhat cheaper than the MS way.XP3 works as well under 7 as though it were native. Not so good with Ubuntu 10.07, though, it locks up while loading in virtual machine. But then I installed Ubuntu as dual-boot (using linux' own dual-boot setup software) and have had no problem there either. Three major OSs on one drive.Cool!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Migration is all about the applications and data you use within your old operating system (presumably XP), being available and usable within your replacement operating system (presumably Win7). From this perspective Microsoft has made a huge blunder in discounting its base of XP users, particularly business users.This software simply offers an alternative to starting over from scratch.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I too did a Zinstall migration (as posted earlier this week).  However, my installation still downloads e-mail (much to my annoyance)and it also sends out e-mail, but takes much longer than it should.  I also get the Windows XP updates on close-down - another annoyance as I don't really want them as I only log onto the virutal machine to look up old files that did not migrate; like old e-mail s that I wanted to keep.  With regard to the payment not until after Zinstall verify a successful installation; they took my money before and a friend's whose installation did not work.  Their support is very slow too, though, eventually, they do respond.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My experience with LapLink was mixed - we've deployed it on 16 machines, and some stuff transferred just fine, such as Office. However, AV transfer was a complete failure - Symantec was unstable, had to reinstall manually. Also, it does not solve the incompatibility problems for older software.I personally could live with that, and intended to use XP mode - however my boss said he won't trust the result for a production system because of aforementioned instability - go figure. We are looking to try the Zinstall solution, haven't tried yet.]]></description>
