In part 1 of this 2-part series, Jeremy Chapman shows how a Windows XP computer with user files and settings can be migrated to Windows 7 RC. If you recall, we did this a few months back in an interview with Jeremy and the whole process using hard-link migration took about 30 minutes, installed the applications we selected and migrated more than 20GB of user state from Windows XP to Windows 7. This video is a screen capture walking through an updated migration to Windows 7 RC. The second part of this video series will show how this was done using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010 Beta 1.

No content displayed. Just voice and progress bar on backgound screen.

Has anyone else had trouble seeing this video? In Media Player my colors are all messed up. Audio is fine but the garish colors make it unwatchable for me. Probably a codec problem on my end.

I think this needs Silverlight installed to play. It works fine for me.

In order to play the video from the webpage, you will need to have Silverlight 2 or later installed. However, if for some reason you don't have Silverlight - you can always download the various formats (Zune, iPod, WMV, MP3, WMA) in the box labeled "formats" directly below the video player. Since this is a screencast, I would not recommend downloading the low/regular quality WMV - only the 2MB / High quality WMV.

The downloads and the video inside the player should have no problems playing on Win7, XP, WM 9/10/11, etc. Works fine for me on my Win7 RC laptop and all other machines I have.

Finally, something that is playing great on Safari MAC. I was beginning to lose hope for the poor MAC.

It refused to work for me too, even after downloading Silverlight 2. Then I modified my browser (Firefox) to use IE Tab and now it works fine. If you are using IE you probably wouldn't have any problems to begin with.
