 These two sites will be practically identical, with that difference that NO third-party extensions will be ''installed'' on upgraded site.

 Bottom-line, at some point, we will have two sites running on the same server, sharing the same database but using different prefix.<br/>
 Our old site will remain intact, the new site will be vanilla Joomla 2.5 installation with all the Joomla content such as users, articles, native modules and templates migrated, but, we are going to say it again, '''''no third party extension will be installed''''', therefore, after migration, be prepared to install a lot of stuff.
