Laplink Releases Lowpriced PCmover for Netbooks

Laplink Software (http://www.laplink.com/emailid=091102_PR_NetbookEdition's38;type=pressrelease) announced that today it has released its first edition of PCmover specifically for Netbooks. It is now available for sale at online at Laplink'ss website and soon from retail stores worldwide.

PCmover (http://www.laplink.com/pcmover/emailid=091102_PR_NetbookEdition's38;type=pressrelease) has long been the category leader and number-one selling application for PC-to-PC migration with over 95% market share in U.S. retail. It is the only software that successfully moves files, settings and programs from computer to computer.

PCmover Netbook Edition (http://www.laplink.com/pcmover/pcmovernetbook.htmlemailid=091102_PR_NetbookEdition's38;type=pressrelease) provides the same time-tested functionality of Laplink'ss PCmover Professional - optimized for moving into a Netbook but at a lower price.

We recognized that PCmover is valuable software for setting up a Netbook, but we needed to deliver the functionality at a lower price, said Randy Clark, Laplink'ss COO. Most Netbooks don'st have a CD drive so installing applications can be difficult. With PCmover, the applications desired are automatically copied over to the Netbook; no need to reinstall anything so no need for a CD drive. And that goes for files and folders as well.

PCmover does not remove anything from the source PC and doesn'st overwrite anything on the Netbook.

Simply install PCmover on both computers and follow the simple wizard, continued Clark. PCmover does all the work. Everything can be moved or only some programs and some files; users maintain total control over the process. When PCmover is done, the Netbook will have as much of the 'spersonality's and functionality of the source PC as the user desires. And, the Netbook retains all of its own pre-installed software while nothing is deleted from the source PC.

Since many Netbooks do not have an optical drive to read CD'ss or DVD'ss, the physical boxed product of PCmover Netbook Edition will come with a Laplink USB flash drive to install PCmover instead of the usual CD-ROM). Also included will be a Laplink Ethernet cable for instant connectivity between the source PC and Netbook.

As with all the new Windows 7 versions of PCmover, the Netbook edition also includes the Upgrade Assistant feature for performing an in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 for Netbook users.

The various upgrade scenarios with Windows 7 will be very confusing and frustrating for consumers, explained Thomas Koll, Laplink'ss CEO, as he explained Laplink'ss solution to the Windows 7 upgrade dilemma. And businesses, especially smaller businesses, will also view this negatively. Our objective is to make upgrading to Windows 7 as easy and as simple as possible, so users can get all the benefits of this new operating system - which is quite good - without all the hassle.

Other features of PCmover Netbook Edition include:

>    Application Selectivity: Choose which applications to be installed on the Netbook.

Programs such as Microsoft Office, iTunes, photo editing software, games, instant messengers, financial and tax software, and many more are automatically transferred.

>    Folder 's38; File Selectivity: Select which folders desired and deselect any file types not wanted to be transferred. Documents, spreadsheets, address books, photos, videos, Internet Favorites and shortcuts, and more are easily copied.

>    Multiple Transfer Options: Use a Laplink Ethernet or USB Transfer Cable, a network connection, or external drive.

>    Easy-To-Use Wizard: Click through a simple wizard to set up the migration.

>    Undo Feature: Quickly reverse a move at any time with PCmover'ss easy 'sundo's feature.
