Laplink Software celebrates their 25th anniversary with Laplink Gold!

Laplink Gold 2008 offers full Vista support and comes with a full version of Acronis True Image and Lavasoft File Shredder.

Bellevue, WA, USA – January 22, 2008- Today Laplink Software announced the release of Laplink Gold 2008 25th Anniversary Edition. The latest release of their “Complete Connectivity” product for file transfer, synchronization, remote access, and more.

Laplink Gold 2008 is now compatible with Windows Vista as well as older versions of Laplink. It provides full connectivity between multiple PCs, no matter what version of Windows is being used and no matter where the PCs are located.

“For 25 years Laplink Software has been providing successful solutions to keep your PCs connected, using any connection method, from any location,” said Thomas Koll, CEO and Chairman of Laplink Software Inc. “Our unique solution allows immediate ‘zero-configuration’ access through firewalls and routers across the Internet, as well as almost any other connection you can imagine, including instant USB connectivity.”

Laplink Gold 2008 includes a Laplink Easy Transfer Cable (physical version). The fastest and easiest way to instantly connect PCs for file transfer, synchronization, and remote control. Also included with Laplink Gold 2008 is the full version of Acronis True Image Home, Lavasoft File Shredder, and Laplink Gold 12 (for older versions of Windows).

“The Laplink Easy Transfer Cable was the original,” explained Koll. “First we made it happen with serial cables, then parallel, then USB. Now you can find many ‘link’ or ‘transfer’ cables on the market, but Laplink is the original and we still provide the best user experience.”

Laplink’s file transfer and synchronization continues to be the fastest available. Laplink’s patented SpeedSync® technology only transfers the changed portion of any file. This is especially important for users who need to synchronize large files and folders on a regular basis. Plus, Laplink Gold 2008 allows for unattended and scheduled synchronization.

•Multiple PC to PC Connectivity
