serverguy writes: A win for all visually impaired members of society with Intel releasing a new device called the Intel Reader. It allows visually impaired people to take a snap shot of a newspapers, books and magazines and have it read back to them. It's estimated that in the US alone there are as many as 55 million people who could make use of such a device. It comes at hefty price though, costing US$1,499 for the paperback sized device which contains a 5 megapixel camera and is powered by a Linux OCR system that converts text into spoken words. The device can contain up to 2GB of data which would equate around 600 snap shots, in addition to reading text to words the device can also play back a Audio Books in a number of supported files such as MP3s and WAV.
The device is expected to be released next Tuesday.

Swing migration is the only way to go, I have followed what you call the "conventional method" which has faild me many times. I can't recall what version MS are up to on their migration documentation but I suspect they have cleaned it up somewhat as the guide I followed was poorly writen and misleading at times.
Also with Swing I can keep the source and destination's name the same which can save a lot of time in large implementations.
