Hi :) Oh, i thought the user-profile could be copied around from any platform to any other platform quite happily. I think that way it's probably best to copy the user-profile before doing a reinstall or an upgrade or even before the initial install.
My problem with trying any of that is that i keep finding new settings or configurations that i really like and then wish that everyone else had the same. Some turn out to be painful after-all even though a it seemed good for the first few days. So the problem is more about my lack of decisiveness and general wander-lust than a difficulty with the software.
