p.1 #1 · Lightroom: Moving from Windows to Mac

I currently run Lightroom 2 on a Windows XP Pro machine. I run both Windows and Mac OS X 10.5 computers for various jobs, and it is time to buy a new machine for Lightroom. I want to go with a Mac. Does anyone know if it is possible to move the Lightroom database and preview files to a Mac? I would rather not start over with Lightroom, but I do want to move away from Windows Thanks.

Yes, the catalog's cross-platform, so you'll just need to relink the files after the move. Blurb here: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/blog/2009/02/28/how-do-i-move-lightroom-to-a-new-computer/
