Not difficult at all (if you mean "open" the project, that is. "Porting" is something the developer of the application does to the code). The Windows and Mac version of Live are exactly the same (except for the extra MIDI channels built into the OS X, that also appear at Live's MIDI in and output slots on a Mac). You may not even need to save it as a project. Saving as a new set under a new name is usually sufficient. Recorded audio files will be copied into the "Recorded" folder of the new set. Quoting the manual: >> In Live, there is no need to manually create Projects, as they are >> automatically built for you. >> When you save a Live Set under a new name or in a new folder >> location, Live will create a >> new project folder and store the Live Set there >> existing Live Project. If you are planning to open the set on another computer that doesn't have the same Live Sample Library you may use "Collect All And Save".

Over here I use the same hard drives for Mac and Windows, so I just move the firewire drive between Mac and Windows boxes and work on the Live Sets from the system most suitable at the moment. But in order to make that possible you need to extend your Windows boxes with a little application called MacDrive. MacDrive enables Window to read OS X formatted drives. This saves me a lot of working time because OS X formatted drives do not get fragmented as NTSF and FAT does, given you use them on a Mac now and then (OS X defrags automatically when leaving the computer on overnight).
