Description
Ubuntu already supports mounting the NTFS file system(Which windows NT and later uses). It would be awesome to have a tool to search and import all my pictures, documents and other stuff(or a particular extension or file name) without having to manually find all the files and move them over.

This would be an awesome addition! +1
@LostOverThere, where is the tool, I'd love to run it.
@lore20, that is certainly not good enough, and definitely not discoverable by a new windows user.
Aside from migrating photos, documents, videos, music, etc. It would be helpful to have a tool map commonly used Windows keyboard shortcuts, and a tool that could find equivalent applications for those that were installed on windows, and if no equivalents exist, attempt to import them into WINE.

I know how to do this, I'm not stupid. I just don't want to locate all my pictures manually.

without telling me a really long complex command line command, that makes the most complicated dos command seem easy, could you tell me how to run this program... and would i understand you.

IBM has a very crappy tool called MyHelp, but one thing it can do is migrate a user profile from one supported OS to another (regardless of the different OSs). The tool currently supports Windows, RHEL, Mac OS X, and SUSE).
