I've been using PC Relocator 6 (which use to be by Aloha Bob) for almost 2 years now. It's a great program that has allowed my clients to move from one old PC to another new faster PC when the time comes. PC Relocator allows me to transfer their files, settings and programs almost flawlessly. It's been a life and business savior for many of my people.
I was at a customer this week that needed to get a new PC. I went to the Aloha Bob website to see if there was some information on how to tansfer a certain type of program. Upon going there, the site was.... useless. MICROSOFT BOUGHT THEM! Here's what Microsoft said,
"Microsoft's acquisition of Apptimum, Inc. will not result in significant changes for current customers of Alohabob products. Customers will continue to receive the product support they were entitled to, and there have been no changes to the support policy. Customers should continue to contact support in the same ways they are accustomed to, by following the links provided on this website. Microsoft does not plan to continue selling the existing Apptimum products."
NO CHANGES MY ASS! I knew they were up to something right then and there the moment I read that. Microsoft doesn't by a company like that for no reason....
After installing all the latest Windows updates, I tried to move only a few programs from the users computer to the new system. GUESS WHAT. PC Relocator was USELESS. It could not function because it did not recognize the latest version of IE (Internet Explorer 7) and guess what, Microsoft has killed the product. There are no new updates ever coming out and no new versions.
Au Revoir Bob.:-(
