This software will help you migrate data from a Windows PC running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. The Migration Assistant will launch automatically after it has been installed.

Apple released an update to its Migration Assistant software for Mac OS X Snow Leopard yesterday, ensuring that users would be able to transfer their data from Snow Leopard systems to new ones running Lion.
