Transfer Your Programs from XP SP2 to Vista Wednesday, January 31, 2007 at 8:31 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (7132 messages posted) Microsoft purchased the program (and the company that published it) called "Aloha Bob PC Relocator" last year in order to use it as a basis for a new utility to be released to help Vista buyers move not only their data and settings*** but their programs as well from their old computer to their Vista computer. It's called the Easy Transfer Companion. The Beta is available for download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=39F724EB-4E37-4BE0-ADFC-786786E73E50&displaylang=en&clcid=0x409 This MS KB has more instructions and a list of supported programs: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931696/en-us ***Note that the Easy Transfer Companion does NOT move data or settings...for that you need "Easy File Transfer," an updated and improved program included in Vista similar to the XP Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
