    Zac talked about the new backup & restore app. I just tried this with a new PC. I backed up my old PC, which told me it worked - although only partially for my apps, with no explanation as to why. When I did the Out of Box experience on my new PC, it recognized this backup and I selected it. However, it did not actually set up my apps, my Start menu or taskbar. So it does not seem to be consistent yet.

    @Daniel Rubino they way you talk about using WordPad is the way I and probably others use OneNote: a series of semi-formatted notes for saving and sometimes copying/pasting into other places.
