Earlier this year Microsoft released an update to USMT 4.0, adding support for Office 2010 and a few other minor updates:

The XML rules included in the default Migapp.xml file are updated to include new rules that support migrating Office 2010 application settings.
Changes that resolve an issue that creates many temporary files, that does not correctly remove the temporary files in a hard-link migration, and that causes poor LoadState performance.
An issue that prevents migration in certain time zones is corrected.
