migration assistant to migrate from windows to elementary os

Registered by notreallyhere

I think having some mechanism to help transfer data over from windows to elementary os would encourage new users to use our os. Have a look here http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4889

We should detect installed apps (source) like browsers, email clients, maybe some windows settings ... etc. and extract data from them and ask user for destination, then load that data into elementary. There were some tries on ubuntu side https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MigrationAssistance

I think this could definitely help draw new or inexperienced users. I like the idea. --VoxCannon
