Resolvo’s Linux migration tool - MoveOver

Resolvo has released a tool to help Windows users make the switch to Linux. While MoveOver (their product) does not remove any of the power of Linux (i.e. does not hide access to terminals) it does allow for a window environment that is similar in look and feel to what a Windows user needs.

MoveOver works on any system running Gnome 2.6 and Evolution 2.0. It guides a user through a series of questions that ultimately configures the desktop to be like what the user had on their Windows machine.

While Resolvo intends to open-source many of the components of MoveOver eventually, there’s hardly a need for it as the software ships at an affordable $20. This is the perfect tool for corporations desiring to convert their entire employee base to Linux but also handy for small business and home Linux users.
