PCmover, which currently holds approximately 70% of the U.S. retail market share for migration software, will now provide users with more flexibility in selecting what data and which applications are transferred from an old PC to a new one.

"PCmover is absolutely the fastest and easiest way to set up a new PC," asserted Thomas Koll, CEO of Laplink Software, Inc. Our internal projections indicate our market share will continue to increase over the next 12 months."

The newest version of PCmover improves on usability, performs faster migrations and provides an intuitive customization process. Improved Features of PCmover include:

"Only PCmover migrates data, settings and applications from an old PC to a new PC in one solution," explained Emir Aboulhosn, Vice-President Global Marketing and Communications for Laplink. "And only PCmover is compatible with all versions of Windows, from 95 through Vista. With the addition of data and application selectivity, we believe there will now be even more distance between PCmover and its competitors."

Laplink expects small and medium sized businesses to be especially pleased with the selectivity options in PCmover as it provides a customizable migration solution that is affordable and decreases ‘downtime' dramatically.

As PC Magazine asks in a recent review of PCmover: "How much is your time worth? A painstaking migration done manually can take a couple of days, and you can still miss stuff. A PCmover migration takes hours, and doesn't miss anything."

"We've run the numbers and spoken to our customers. A business can expect to save at least $300 when deploying a replacement PC by using PCmover," Koll stated. "We are so confident that PCmover delivers the best possible migration experience, our volume licensing for PCmover is now completely risk-free with a full money-back guarantee. I challenge businesses to see for themselves how much they will save."

Current PCmover owners will be able to upgrade to the new version for free by simply clicking the "Check for Update" button to before performing a migration.

In a recent comprehensive testing of PCmover by Extreme Tech, the reviewer concluded, "PCmover performed as advertised, which is a rare thing in today's software environment. While all software publishers brag about how amazing their goods are, Laplink actually has reason to."

PCmover is available at most major software retailers as well as online at www.laplink.com.  Businesses that wish to take Koll's challenge should call 1-800-LAPLINK for more information about volume licensing options.
