My PC's have firewire. Not sure how it makes sense to criticize PC manufacturers for not integrating USB 3.0 when it's not even out yet.

Oh... well, there's a complicated answer to that, which ultimately boils down to the fact that USB and Firewire were actually designed to do two different things.

The USB transfer architecture really won't allow direct connection.

I have Acronis on my old system, and everything backed up on a hard drive. I use Opera and already have duplicated my settings...

I usually just plug the source system into my wired network, share the root, and copy the necessary data. But this assumes an existing network with all the appropriate settings on the computers and firewalls and such.
