One problem with that is the tendency of Windows 7 to want files in a different place than XP (DXBase for example). All I could use PCM for would be moving data files. I would still have to do a fresh install of all the App's.
My thinking is to build up another system (like the one I am using now) and do a parallel install so I can be sure they all work. A royal PITA, but with XP support ending soon, I foresee an avalanche of virus attacks that will not be countered.
