Syncing Mac and Thinkpad

[GeoChris]

Maybe a little off-topic, sorry in advance.

Does anyone know whether it is possible to sync a (windows-) thinkpad with a mac ? Basically os-x can read files generated by software under windows, right, so theoretically this should work somehow...

I'm curious whether anyone is/has been doing this.

Thanks,
Chris

Share the folders in Mac on Network using SMB
and use softwares such as "SyncToy" (from MS for free)

Does this help?

I'm doing exactly as milstein said. If you want to sync big files I would suggest trying a direct firewire connection (just plug a firewire cable in both computers) or a direct ethernet connection. I mostly do it using my wireless network (small files).
Also check out Sharepoint to easily share any folder on your mac you want. I for example sometimes even share an external harddrive connected to the mac.

Thanks sofar!

The reason I ask is that I'd really like to switch to tiger or leopard for some applications but don't particularly like the mac notebooks. And from what I read here sofar it appears to me that getting OSX to work without problems on a pc is not really possible (or at least not very practical).
One possible solution I though of was to get a mac at work and a thinkpad for home/travels & sync them every day to stay organised. I wasn't sure though how efficiently this would work...
