The goal of Windows Data Migration is provide a one-stop data migration
 
to migrate all Windows data from a Windows System to Linux during
 
installation or even after installation. It will support XP and Vista
 
Windows data.
 
 
 
 
 
===Features===
 
 
 
= A user-friendly, simple GUI with advanced setting will provide the
 
ease of use and flexibility to new comer.
 
= File System (folder) sharing will provide the flexibility when new
 
linux user needs to rely on Windows when needed. User can save data in a
 
special directory/folder for Windows System.
 
= All instance messager, images, audio, movies and documents will be
 
migrated and supported. Associated open-source software, freeware will
 
be installed during migration.
 
=
 
 
 
After a typical user has installed Linux in a pre-existing windows
 
system, there is a number of configuration steps that must be taken
 
before they get a comfortable working environment. This includes
 
personal data like pictures, music, mails etc but also settings like
 
wallpaper. The goal would be to lessen that pain and provide a
 
relatively familiar working environment right after installation.

- movie (avi, mpeg4, divx, xvid, rm, mov,
 
- documents (xls, doc, rtf, txt, wri,
 
- wallpaper
 
= User migration
 
- User name search and add with password
 
 
 
===Program Logic Flow v0.1 20081012===
 
- Show welcome page and descriptions
 
- Search Windows User Folders
 
- Gethering folders information
 
- Check if Fedora User parition is enough for all documents from  Windows users
