Migration Wizard

Yesterday I got my new Mac because I wanted the course as quickly as possible into operation I have the OSX's "Migration Assistant" is used.

The wizard takes over completely automates all user-specific data and installed programs from one Mac to another. It works perfectly over the network and took about 3 to 4 hours for 30GB data scarce.

As a previous Linux and Windows users this is an entirely new behavior, after a hardware update to install any programs newly received, the entire browser history remains, mail clients do not set up new, etc. ....

Another point that speaks for the Mac.
