As a Mac@home/PC@work user, I was really intrigued by the question so I did a bit of research and came up with blanks.

It just doesn't look like anyone has really tried to smooth the process out.

The best advice I found was to use an intermediary device, such as a Palm PDA, that can sync with both programs. To me, that's just a fugly hack.

I smell an opportunity for some software development... wish I could provide some immediate help.

mhaw and C.Batt, I too am forced to trudge though XP trenches at work. Judging by last year's alarming number of iPod-related FPP's, I suspect there are many Mac heads on MeFi who are in the same boat. Please let us know if there are any breakthroughs on this front.

The only thing I've found that looks like it might be of any help are these scripts. I didn't try them as I was only after one, and it wasn't worth $20 for me. This is nowhere near a solution, and probably the most annoying thing is that in your case, Microsoft should be actively encouraging you to be syncing between these two apps.
