They have, to the dismay of many, migrated them to the web (forums.adobe.com). I just stopped by to see if there had been any activity... To address your question, I have had no problems migrating between operating systems. Indeed, both the systems and the programs are so similar as to be a non-issue. InDesign files transfer easily so long as you keep in mind that Type 1 fonts are best avoided as their formats differ for Mac and PC. Open Type & TrueType present no problems. Be sure to use the same version of ID on both machines. And if you are buying a "secondhand" version, be sure the license is valid for transfer in order to activate the program through Adobe. I suggest you avoid EBay and the like.
