Migration tool from Windows to Linux (linspire Distribution)

[David Ecklein]

Kenyon just sent me this Linspire announcement on Versora's product Progression Desktop.

Although Linspire is probably a worthy option, I have been inclined (especially by what I read in GNHLUG) to go Suse.  So far, what limited Linux exposure I have had has been with Red Hat in various releases.

Highly interested whether it might work with these other distributions, I checked Versora's website and found:

Is this real gold or iron pyrites?

Any comments ( + or - ) from GNHLUGers or others on this tool would be appreciated.  Has anybody used it, and with what result?  Linux wannabes want to know (especially the lazier ones, allergic to system trivia like yours truly).
