Hi, very nice demo, some

Hi, very nice demo, some questions:
- Does it use the integrated Windows 7 emulation, or must add "Virtual PC" ?
- Does Microsoft accept we install a single PC Windows 7, without need to pay a 2nd OS licence for the XP, all the same in the virtual?
- If I keep MS-Office installed on the virtual PC, can I also have in the Windows 7 without paying twice??

It's a pretty neat

It's a pretty neat step-by-step demo. I'm still on XP and haven't upgraded yet only because of the migration headaches. This video simplifies A LOT of things, but I do have one question.

At  00:56 it says that after you migrate, you will run your old applications "virtually". And the word "virtually" is specifically underlined in the video. Does it mean that the aps will run in some kind of non-native, "artificial" environment on Windows 7? Because if that's the case, I'd rather re-install all software, fresh and new. I'm not really a fan of slow virtual environments.

Can you please clarify on this "virtual" thing?

Virtual Machine

Virtual means running on a virtual machine, yes you can also restore to physical. SEE Microsoft on licensing for physical and virtual machine Windows OSes.

Windows 7 has XP mode which is a built in virtual machine. The VHD used in XP Mode is locked and cannot be replaced with another VHD. In XP Mode you must re-install all your applications and settings!

Make a BESR backup of your XP OS and later you can do a P2P/P2V/V2P, and V2V later :)

PS: Easy transfer is pretty cool!

Spot on Demo

Again, another spot on demo - this will be a huge help to me with the clients. Better yet I might just pass along your link to them and keep out of it! Thanks again you guys, you make my job lots easier!
