Oh the Waiting. Migrating from GPC to Google Sites

Well it's June 4th, and I have temporarily decided to let Google migrate my site from GPC to Google Sites.

There are two main reasons, and I suspect that the migration will be temporary.
1. I am curious ... so How will Google migrate the site, and what will it look like when they are done?

2. I have some other sites that have linked to some of the content and drive a fair percentage of my traffic. As I have noted in some of my comparisons, with GPC, google does not append a file extension to the GPC URL (i.e. http://www.timalosi.com/about) whereas sites like Weebly.com and Officelive.com both utilize extensions and return 404 errors when you pass them a GPC style URL.

So ... for now I wait for Google to work some form of minor magic. Curious for the results.
