This document discusses strategies for migrating from the Windows XP operating system to Windows 8. It outlines key steps in the migration process including discovery, strategy, piloting, implementation, and support. Successful strategies include early planning, realistic timelines, thorough application discovery, managing expectations, and reporting successes. Common failures result from leaving application compatibility testing too late, underestimating resource needs, and poor project management. The document also lists supporting technologies and resources for migration projects.
