Firewire with setup assistant that will come on when you start up your computer for the first time (assuming you are getting it through apple if not I am sure there is a way to start it up again) will transfer everything (including settings and programs) over to your new computer in about 30min to an hour and you'll be ready to go.

I didn't have to reinstall any of my programs.
