Two Worlds
I'm dogfooding some Macintosh software on a spiffy new MacBook Pro. Rather than carry around two laptops, I've retired my old Toshiba and set up Windows in Bootcamp on the MBP. I also set up Parallels to use the Bootcamp partition. (I considered using VMWare Fusion but I already had the Parallels license).
Migrating the data from my Toshiba was fairly painless except for one thing: moving photos from Picasa to iPhoto. There's no easy way to retain the albums in Picasa without moving them one-by-one into iPhoto. And frankly, Picasa is more powerful than iPhoto anyway. If the buzz that Google is developing a Macintosh version of Picasa is true, I may end up moving my photos back to Picasa.
