How To: Transfer Your Data from XP to Vista
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"Like many PC users, you’ve probably been looking at Windows Vista since its January release and wondering whether you want to take the jump and buy it. Assuming your computer can handle its demands, and your wallet or plastic can stretch to the price, it’s tempting. But there’s one vital question – can you easily migrate your data to Vista without spending days tearing out your hair? The answer, happily, is yes."
If you're on the fence about Vista, my advice is: switch. The interface is more polished, and it's noticeably better at memory and CPU utilization. On the same machine, I've found Vista to feel faster, both in terms of system response and program startup. You'll find a few glithces with legacy programs here and there, but nothing that should sway you from jumping to Vista. As is pointed out in this Digital Trends article, it's incredibly easy to make the switch.
