XP is so old that the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant does not allow you to migrate any settings or programs. You can keep the data files from your personal profile, but that's it.
As in "Micro$hit wants you to buy programs from their 'store', not use old XP software that may still work in Win 8 even if it can be migrated." Personally, I'm sticking with Win 7 + OpenOffice + T'bird for e-mail for a while; no real reason to upgrade. If I want a "start screen" and "tablet interface", I'll use an Android device, f--k you very much.
