I was counting on you to say that ..... It's not a geek document; it's for average users and it's the first time I've seen anything like it from Microsoft unless you go back to DOS 6 ?
Windows Easy Transfer -- p19 using the AR go to box refers to selecting files.
Windows Easy Transfer helps you move files, folders, program settings, and system settings from your old PC to your new one. With the newest version of Windows Easy Transfer, you can leave the transfer unattended. If Windows encounters a file or setting that it can’t transfer, it will complete the rest of the migration and then show you any items that failed to transfer and give you the option to try again.
Windows Easy Transfer also works well if you’re adding a second PC. With the new Windows Easy Transfer file explorer, you can see files on other PCs and choose the ones you want to copy to your new PC. If you’re not sure what you want to transfer, you can use the new Selective Restore feature to save all the files and settings on your old PC to removable media. You can then choose the files and settings you want to transfer. Everything else remains safely stored in your Windows Easy Transfer archive, in case you want to access it later.
You’ll need the same version of Windows Easy Transfer on all PCs to transfer files, folders, program settings, and system settings. For PCs running Windows 7, Windows Easy Transfer automatically copies the latest version of Windows Easy Transfer to other PCs running Windows 7 after you’ve connected them. If you’re running Windows Vista or Windows XP, however, you will need to manually install the Windows 7 version of Windows Easy Transfer on your PC from the installation media in Windows 7 before you can begin transferring data.
I've highlighted the bits that made me look for a new version of WET and with it installed to explore the capabilities and not just use the default.
The rest probably came to me from reading other websites plus the MS Download pages.
As for the Start Menu, if one used the default VISTA settings, as I would expect the average user to, I doubt that it is as drastic a change as if one grew up on the XP CLassic Menu and changed settings in VISTA.
And in case you did not know -- an important part of marketing is to help the user to use the product correctly. It's so important that it should not be left exclusively to marketing or to technical personel as came up in another thread recently. So if marketing paid for this -- great! Please everyone do more of it. When is the last time you saw a 140 page booklet with a product, even on the CD or hard drive.
Lenovo's support pages are the nearest I've seen recently.
