Windows to Mac?

I will need to buy a new laptop soon and am considering switching from the Windows OS to Apple. My Calibre library is quite extensive (I tend to change meta-data so that I can organize my books by series) and I'm concerned about how it will all work on a Mac. I know Calibre is cross-platform, but what, if any, pitfalls await me should I make the switch?

Thanks. I had missed that in the FAQ. I guess it should work fine. I already know how to move my library from one windows device to another and did that a few months ago from desktop to external hard drive. My concern was whether or not the move from OS's was as easy. Apparently so!
