November 28, 2006—Bellevue, WA— Laplink Software’s PCmover, the only PC migration utility that moves applications, programs, files and settings from old to new computers for fast and easy setup, is now the top-selling product in its class in retail stores across the United States based on new figures from NPD Techworld data.  The title is #1 in both dollar earnings and units sold.

To holiday shoppers, PCmover has become the must-have software to accompany any new PC – just like batteries for a new toy. 

The software’s success reflects its ability to eliminate manual steps required by other PC migration products that fail to move Windows applications or other components, forcing users to search for old software CDs and serial numbers in order to replicate the old PC setup on the new machine.  With PCmover, new PC owners simply click through a simple migration wizard and the software does the rest with no manual intervention.

Thomas Koll, Chairman and CEO of Laplink Software, is confident about the product’s continuing success. “With its ability to move applications quickly and easily, PCmover has become an essential tool for saving new PC owners hours of time and headaches.  As we move into the holiday season and the launch of Vista early next year, we expect that PCmover will take an even more commanding sales lead.”

PCmover is available at Staples, Office Depot, CompUSA, Fry’s, Micro Center and other major retailers for $59.95, or at www.laplink.com starting at $49.95 for the download version.
