Microsoft's File and Settings transfer tool migrates:

Internet Explorer settings
Good idea. Ditto firefox

Outlook Express settings and store

Outlook settings and store
Difficult due to diversity of preferred mail clients among Fedora users.
Evo is the sane default, but Tbird usage is still massive.
*
Dial-Up connections
Do we care? Not hard to do either way.
*
Phone and modem options
Simple enough.
*
Accessibility
Might not be 1:1 here, but good faith effort could make this work
*
Screen saver selection
Not likely :(
*
Fonts
Can be done. Do we want to encourage copying the fonts from windows
though? (The settings themselves are useless unless we go get the fonts
which back them)
*
Folder options
*
Taskbar settings
Not sure about the correspondence here
*
Mouse and keyboard settings
Can do
*
Sounds settings
Could get interesting. Fedora has always had a more sophisticated view
of the sound devices than windows.
*
Regional options
Simple, and a good thing to have.
*
Office settings
Likely to be harder than its worth. OOo and MSOffice are always juuust
different enough that they don't cooperate well.
*
Network drives and printers
Not too hard.
*
Desktop folder
*
My Documents folder
*
My Pictures folder
*
Favorites folder
*
Cookies folder
Gets back to the core "mirroring" aspect.
*
Common Office file types
Not sure what this one means.
