In Feb of 2007 Belkin introduces their USB transfer cable to get from XP to Vista. Now Belkin has their USB transfer cable to get you from Vista to Windows 7. From everything we’ve heard and experienced, we expect nothing less than a mad rush for users to get away from Vista and try anything new.
The two-ended USB cable plugs into your old Vista or XP computer as well as the new Windows 7 machine. Then you launch the Easy Transfer application shipping with Windows 7 inside “Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools”. Once there, you can migrate files, users, bookmarks and emails onto your shiny new rig.
Since many programs might not be Windows 7 compatible, Belkin puts together a list of what those programs are with links to any updates available for the software. Seems to me that database would be a nightmare in itself, but hey, we’ll drink from the water cooler.
The Belkin USB transfer cable from Vista to Windows 7 retails for $39 – but we found it on sale for $22. Not much to avoid a headache and make life a bit easier, right?
