The new MacBook lacks the (oh so) familiar FireWire port, so how am I supposed to migrate from my MacBook Pro to a new MacBook? Copy everything over the network? Or are they providing special tooling?
MacBook 2008 PortsThe advantage of the firewire port was that you can access your Apple hardware as a external drive. Quite handy if your laptop/desktop fails to boot. Just hook it up with FireWire to another Apple and you can try to fix the problem (and get to your data).
We might be heading to a Windows Migration Assistant kinda feature....
UPDATE: It seems that migration is available via ethernet, or by mounting a diskimage (which you created on the other machine)
UPDATE 2: Apple to the rescue with the Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update.
