| Even installing Linux is a breeze. Thousands of Windows user found
| |
| Linux is difficult to use and worry about the competity of documents.
| |
| The goal of Windows Data Migration is provide a one-stop data migration
| |
| to migrate all Windows data from a Windows System to Linux during
| |
| installation or even after installation. It will support XP and Vista
| |
| Windows data.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Features===
| |
| | |
| = A user-friendly, simple GUI with advanced setting will provide the
| |
| ease of use and flexibility to new comer.
| |
| = File System (folder) sharing will provide the flexibility when new
| |
| linux user needs to rely on Windows when needed. User can save data in a
| |
| special directory/folder for Windows System.
| |
| = All instance messager, images, audio, movies and documents will be
| |
| migrated and supported. Associated open-source software, freeware will
| |
| be installed during migration.
| |
| =
| |
| | |
| After a typical user has installed Linux in a pre-existing windows
| |
| system, there is a number of configuration steps that must be taken
| |
| before they get a comfortable working environment. This includes
| |
| personal data like pictures, music, mails etc but also settings like
| |
| wallpaper. The goal would be to lessen that pain and provide a
| |
| relatively familiar working environment right after installation.
