MICROSOFT SPEAKS "XP" AGAIN

DIE HARD - PART III







This was posted earlier on my other Blog:

On a Microsoft Blog post that you can read in it's entirety HERE, they announced a limited migration tool for those who wanted to try to migrate to Windows 8. It will transfer files and user setting but NO applications. 

Beginning March 8th you will see the following appear on your XP screen:


And it will continue to appear on the 8th of every month until you either move off XP, or click the box to not show that message again. In the post they mention a special deal from Laplink which has lowered it's price of it's Professional package to $23.95 just for XP users. This will move many, but not all of your programs. The link for this is on the Microsoft Blog and (of course) HERE. If I'm not mistaken, it will migrate select programs, user settings and data to not just Windows 8, but Windows 7 as well.

'Nuff Said,
Brian
