Help for Moving Into a New Vista PC

by Terrence O'Brien on May 30, 2007 at 02:31 PM


IOGEAR's new Smartlink cable makes migrating to a new Vista computer a snap (well, as much of a snap as Vista can possibly be). For $30, it cuts out the need for such middlemen as external hard drives or recordable DVDs -- no software or drivers needed.

Simply connect the cable between your old Windows machine and new Vista computer. The Smartlink uses Vista's built-in Easy Transfer feature to copy data and/or settings between the two. That's it.

Now if only getting your old peripherals to work with Vista was this easy.
