"And whenever you migrate to a new computer, Setup Assistant automates migration of all your personal files, settings, applications and folders -- a feature already found in Windows XP"

I believe this is a feature of the current OS X also.

I migrated a G3 Desktop to an iMacG5 last month without a single hitch. It was just a case of connecting up the two units with a firewire cable and holding down the "T" key when restarting the source (old) unit.

The process did not take son long either.
