Default transfer cable for programs?

Thank you very much, Paul! Your explanation and links are very helpful. It
looks like no matter which approach I use (cable or network), I won't be
able to transfer programs. Over all I don't mind reinstalling programs,
although it's nice that I can keep my settings by using Easy Transfer
software. I gather from Microsoft's webpage that I don't have to worry about
transferring from my 32-bit Windows XP computer to either a 32-bit or a
64-bit Windows 7 computer. I just have to download the right version of the
program.

The only encouraging thing I can say is, you've just installed a new OS,
and if you don't like what Easy Transfer did to the target system, you can
always reinstall the OS on the new install machine. So it's not like any
foulups are permanent if they happen.
