Well, one thing worth noting is to not turn on your iCloud Photostream in Aperture before importing a mass amount of old photos, like I'm doing. It sent nearly fifty gigs through it! I move my iPhone and iPad photos out of the Photostream folder on my PC pretty often and was rather shocked when I noticed it was full of all of these old photos! I stopped everything and disabled the Photostream, for now.
Another thing worth noting is that when you import photos into Apertue they "swell up" or more likely it just copys them, I'm not sure but either way my 1TB hard drive showed full before the 400+ Gigs got done importing. So, I deleted everything, uninstalled/reinstalled Aperture and have set a chunk of my photos to importing straight from the Windows machine, rather than copying them to the Mac first.
Needless to say my difficulties are due to my having to learn OSX and Aperture at the same time. I love the Mac but still can't tell what it's doing some times. I'm not nearly as frustrated at learning how things work as I was when I switched to Vista. It hasn't crashed once. Overall I'm very satisfied.
