We are getting very close to Windows 8.  Microsoft plans to show off the Beta at CES next week during CEO Steve Ballmer’s keynote address.  A public Beta is expected sometime in February.  Now it seems that software makers are starting to get on the ball with updating their products for the future operating system.  Today Laplink announced that they would be releasing their PCmover software with new enhancements that make it compatible with for forthcoming Windows 8 Beta.

PCmover is an app designed to automatically move files, settings, user accounts, applications, and a lot more from one PC to another or even one OS to another.  The maker, Laplink, announced that it will be releasing a new version that is compatible with Windows 8 tomorrow, January 5th.  The new program isn’t actually called PCmover, but is based on it, and will be called Windows 8 Beta Assistant.

The new program will make life a lot easier for IT pros and users who just want to test the new Windows 8 Beta by upgrading from Windows 7.  The app will be available beginning January 5th and you can use it for an unlimited number of moves to Windows 8 for no charge until July of 2012.
