"In the first head-to-head comparison of trying to accomplish a task with Mac OS and Vista in this series, the new Windows operating system fell flat on its face. Migrating from an XP installation was halted by repeated failures of the Windows Easy Transfer application when used with a network connection and a so-called Easy Transfer Cable. I finally gave up and used Lenovo's System Migration Assistant."

Actually with vista you don't even need to do that (keep the settings on a separate partition). I did a clean install over an existing 2K. instead of just wiping everything however, it took the contents from Documents and Settings, and Programs, moved them over to a Windows.old directory, and then did a fresh install. You can't use the old programs of course, but at least their contents (esp. the stuff in Docs and Settings) are preserved for you.
