I don't know about Mac or Windows, but Export/Import worked beautifully from my Linux, 32-bit desktop to my Linux 64-bit laptop. Even moved over my configured DeDRM plugin, which surprised me. I may try moving it to the Windows partition of the laptop just to see if it can be made to work (or how much work would be required).

EDIT: Export/Import worked fine with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) from Linux. The only issue I had is that Windows wouldn't let me delete the metadata file in the Calibre Library directory, so I had create a new "Calibre" directory within the Calibre Library directory. As far as I can see everything is identical (other than that). (Again, DeDRM came over fully intact – that's the only plugin I've added.)

Again, an amazing application.
