To transfer data, a user connects the included 8 ft. Easy Transfer cable to both machines’ USB ports and then selects items to be moved using the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard. The data is then transferred at USB 2.0 speeds of up to 480 Mbps. You can also schedule transfers with the provided PCSync software from LapLink.
Based on the description, the Easy Transfer cable seems like a regular USB 2.0 cable with built-in software to automatically run that Easy Transfer Wizard, so for advanced users who, in all likelihood, will start everything else from scratch and just want data transferred, a simple USB 2.0 cable will likely suffice; but for the average user who wants to painlessly transfer his files, settings and user accounts to his new Vista based machines, this Belkin Easy Transfer cable will be very useful. It’ll be available in late January for $39.99.
