Hey, I appreciate the message.

I understand what you have described, but I am wondering
how all of the registry settings tied to the old account
(HKEY%USER%) are going to get migrated. The entire office
suite as well as visual studio is a bear to get installed,
configured and updated.

Thanks again,
boggsie
