If your friend has been using the two main components of NS 7.x and is 
expecting NS 8.x to do the same thing you are both in for a rude 
awakening.  NS 8.x is a browser only.  No email.  No news service. 
Nada, nothing, just a browser.  To answer your question more directly, 
there is no migration path from NS 7.x to NS 8.x if you expect full 
functionality having used the multiple functionality of NS 7.x.

Now, if all your friend wants is a browser, and isn't asking for any 
answers about mail and news, great.  Someone here will surely explain 
how to migrate data from her NS 7.x browser to the new NS 8.x one.
