I love the ideas pitched in: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-love/2001-June/msg00066.html
Short extract: "What I propose, is a Gnome Migration tool that would do the following 1) A Perl script would run once the CD is inserted, and catalog the hardware and software profile of the Windows Operating system. 2) The script would then check its database to see if the hardware was supported by Linux, and check if the software was known to run under Wine, and if so - how well or poorly it did so. 3) The script would then report to the Admin/User whether they had hardware that was supported/unsupported, what software was known to work, not work, etc. It would then ask if any of the unsupported hardware/software was critical to the users needs." I'm not sure this is the place to bring this up, but I'm sure the right people will forward it along. Thanks for the info.
