Summary: TERRIBLE! BEWARE!
Comment: What a headache and a waste of time and money! I used this product to transfer from an XP desktop to a new Vista desktop. Getting it to transfer in the first place was a frustrating, time consuming struggle, involving an online chat with tech support, who was marginally helpful at best. They resolved the issue by having me switch ends of the transfer cable, which has NO MARKINGS to indicate that it makes any difference which way it is connected. After several tries the transfer worked. 14 hours later it was done. I then started to explore the new computer to find that almost none of the transferred software worked. Those that did work, such as photoshop, were unable to open any of the associated files that were transferred with them. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several applications to find that they would not work at all because PCMover had changed OS settings. I talked with tech support for several software apps and they could not understand why they wouldn't work. I was advised that PCMover had corrupted the OS, and that I would need to erase and recover the hard drive. I am now in the process of doing that. Hopefully PCMover hasn't completely trashed my new PC. With any luck I will be starting fresh tomorrow at square one where I was before I ever installed this crap software.
Save yourself a lot of time and aggravation by just manually re-installing your software and transferring your necessary files. I wish I had.

Summary: LapLink PC Mover Moving Kit
Comment: This product worked efficiently in a speedy manner. Did not take long to transfer data between computers. Program is excellent, everything is done automatically with a few keystrokes command.

Summary: Worked great.
Comment: It did just what it was supposed to do. It moved my programs and settings. I was worried that Microsoft office would require that the product key be re-entered, but it was there and working fine without me having to do anything. I was wary of the product after reading some of the reviews, but no problem moving from XP to Vista even. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to migrate the contents of their old computer to a new one.

Summary: Beyond Expectations
Comment: Wow. After reading the reviews before I purchased PC Mover, I was ready for a big disappointment. To my surprise, this thing accurately migrated all my data and just about all my applications from an XP laptop to a Vista laptop. I was floored. I had done this once before, manually. It took me about a week to do what PC Mover did in a few hours. I'm not saying it was without glitches. I still needed to do some tweaking and adjusting, but very little. Within hours it seemed like I was on my old system. Except for the fact that I was now using Vista and not XP, everything was familiar. Among other things, I accurately moved all the data and applications in Microsoft Office Pro 2003, my lawyer billing program, IBackup, Adobe Acrobat, PaperPort, Quicken, my Desktop, all my internet bookmarks and most, if not all of my settings and preferences. It was awesome for me. Maybe I was just lucky.

Summary: Oh how I miss Aloha Bob
Comment: I've used Intellimover, and Eisenworld's Aloha Bob (before they were bought out) with very little trouble. Yes, you do have to reinstall the essential programs, but in the current software market you have a limited number of installs anyway...They both transferred my files, as per my directions - no problems.
Laplink's product was a nightmare. It requires that the Internet Explorer programs be the same version, and if they aren't, you have to go back and update.... if the updated version is now newer than the other version, you have to go back and update both. They require that you disable all your security software. I don't know if you've ever tried to disable anything made by the wonderous Norton Products of the Symantec company, but those guys don't give up easily. Since the preinstalled security software was incompatible, THAT made the transfer not difficult - but impossible. When I decided to stop wasting my time (nine hours) and attempted to uninstall the Laplink product, I was informed that despite the fact that it had failed to run, if I didn't run it on that computer, it wasn't going to run anyplace else.
Save yourself the pain. Don't buy it. Just transfer the data and go ahead and buy the essential programs again. You'll spend less time in anger management classes.
