Here is my 2 cents contribution :<br>
<br>
I did this kind of migration a lot of time for friends, relatives...<br>
<br>
The main point about the migration from Outlook to Mozilla is not an
OS migration problem, but an application migration.<br>
<br>
The best way to achieve it is to install Thunderbird on XP.<br>
TB detects outlook and offer the choice of importing all data from
outlook to TB.<br>
<br>
When moving from XP to XU you can simply copy the TB-XP's file to
XU...<br>
it's that simple...<br>
<br>
I found that a good way to put non technical people on the road to
Linux is to keep XP/Vista/W7 and install GNU software in lieu of
MS/proprietary softwares :<br>
<br>
Libre-Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC, Kompozer, Stellarium .. are
good examples .<br>
<br>
Once people is at ease with applications, you can easily move to
Linux ...<br>
<br>
Have a nice day!<br>

I wrote my very first program in 1967 on a Packard Bell 250,
directly in binary...<br>
