Save your money.

By following all of the instructions for a one time only program the move lost vital portions of our very extensive accounting program and corrupted the operating system.. I had to reload windows xp, drivers, etc. Save
your money, don't buy this program.

DO NOT use for Vista
Pros: Maybe it works for XP????
Cons: Appears to work, but in fact Vista security gets messed up
Review:
Although the reviews I saw were mixed, this was cheap enough to see if it would enable me to avoid loading all of my many programs from scratch moving from XP to a new Vista system. The transfer was very slow (going over a home network). It looked like it had done the job, at least for those programs that were compatible with Vista. However, I discovered that I couldn't make changes to Vista features such as renaming my login ID and disabling User Account Control even though I was logged in as the administrator. No suggestions that I found on numerous Vista forums worked to overcome this. I finally gave up, reinstalled Vista, and loaded the programs that I still wanted to run from scratch.

I knew better...
Pros: Some apps did transfer
Cons: Licensing issues with applications, unable to back out
Review:
Save yourself the headache. There were no reviews and I believed the hype... now hours later and still working to clean up the mess, I strongly encourage utilizing the existing XP transfer wizard and doing a little extra work versus a full rebuild. Some of my applications transferred cleanly, but itunes, trillian, visio and others had so many issues, the pain became unbearable. Want my $$$ back.
