http://live.pirillo.com/ – Yes, you can transfer your files from XP to Mac OS X… or back. While they are two completely separate and different Operating Systems, it’s not as difficult as you would think to share your files between them.

Most of your documents, pictures and music files are easily shared between the two types of Operating Systems. You can accomplish this a couple of ways. First, of course, is to burn them to DVD and just put the DVD into the other system and copy. Voila! Of course, what if you have a large amount of data you wish to transfer or share?

Another way to share the files is to do a direct transfer. Bascially, you are going to connect the computers using a crossover cable. You will set up a tutorial to accomplish this. Also… you can use your iPod to transfer the files, as well!

What other ways do all of you recommend for sharing or transferring files? Be sure to leave me a comment, or send me an email to chris@pirillo.com.
