>>Yes, there is some data migration facility. I don't know how it works. Don't know if it can use Firewire or not. I didn't try it since I don't have some other windows machine that I needed to get data off of. I suspect it works fine. But i can't comment on that. I didn't try anything at all with Firewire ports.<< Dave - FYI, no Microsoft data migration tool yet has ever allowed the user to move installed applications from an old machine to a new one, and no PC has ever been able to boot into Target Disk Mode, allowing you to use it like an external FireWire drive. If Vista allows you to move applications, that will be a very new thing. But I doubt that it will, because it still relies on the byzantine Registry. - Allen
