For those of you bashing the idea, Belkin's doing a bit more than just cloning the data from your Windows machine to your new Mac. Notice the "folders, settings, and apps" section? Yeah...Migration Assistant transfers your settings, too, so you don't have to go through and reset all of your preferences. If Belkin's product works as advertised, that will give folks moving from PC to Mac the same benefit as someone moving from an older Mac to a new Mac.
As to the Genius Bar doing that for you...yeah, that's great...if you have the time and are close enough to an Apple Store to take advantage of that. But since Mac hasn't really come out with a Migration Assistant for Windows, I doubt the Geniuses will transfer settings. Just data.

Right now, it's looking to me as if Vongo should have done a bit more beta testing before releasing this new client. As I type, I can only install Vongo on my laptop...my HTPC won't run the new Vongo client, and Customer Service has thus far been unable to resolve the problem. I'm hoping their technical support gurus will come up with an answer soon, though.
