Hi Ignasi and all,
Some additional questions on this.
It looks like my acquisition of a Macbook Pro may happen sooner than I'd
thought. I am concerned about getting all my windows contacts over to my Mac
when I get it. Someone said I could export them as Vcards, I think. But I'm
wondering, I have them all synced to my iphone. Is it possible to take
contacts that are on the iphone and sync them onto my new Mac?
TIA,
Donna

Oh, and if you do have a Windows VM or something, the process is
faster because you would only need to sink the contacts with Outlook
and then use iTunes to sink the iPhone. The only inconvenient with
that is that your phone might be formatted for use on a Mac, so the
Windows version of iTunes might ask you to reformat it. If you don't
have much stuff in there you can just do it, because a Windows
formatted iPhone will work just fine with your Mac later...
