What do you mean with a crossover cable ? I think some programs will work some not will work , but I recomend to install software from scratch like antivirus , browser , etc. Games , benchmark programs and that stuff has to work 
And as crookedmouth said the most wont work due to the registry entries

I think OP means a usb bridge cable and I didn't mean to imply it wouldn't work to transfer files. I thought OP meant all current installed programs.

Use the Easy Transfer Wizard to migrate data and program settings. You can use a crossover ethernet cable, straight cables through a switch, a rather expensive (for a one use cable) usb transfer cable, or an external hard drive. You cannot however transfer the programs themselves, they must be reinstalled on the new computer.
