While most of the buzz these days is about migrating from other operating systems to Linux, with Windows being one of the major feedstock pools for this, in fact the migration may proceed the other way, in some cases. Microsoft's site, at the indexed URL provides a complete guide to Linus to Windows migration, inluding a virtual conference covering migration in extensive detail, white papers on pre-, post-, and ongoing-migration issues, case studies, analyst reports, and additional resources for specific platforms and activities.

If you want to go this way, Microsoft wants you to be sure to know how to do it. The fact that this in-depth how-to covers 6 pages of extensively illustrated and annotated articles is testimony to that.
