Move from Mac to PC/Windows 7: How can I move my iPhoto library on PowerPC Mac to a Windows 7 PC?

I'm a Mac... soon to a PC?  My Apple iBook G4 is in need of a replacement, and I think to move to a Windows 7 laptop.  There is virtually no information online about the passage of a Mac to PC.  Given all the ads of MSFT, I expected more help.

My main concern is transfer my photos easily without having to reorganize everything.  I currently use iPhoto and there is no version for the PC.  I'd appreciate any help advice with this process.  Is there a good program similar to iPhoto, which is recommended?

More tips or advice on failover in general would be also greatly appreciated.

After importation, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize the organizational structure that iPhoto had or will I have to create new folders and spend time re-organizing?

Unfortunately, you will need to spend some time of reorganization. If you have metadata attached to photos, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize it. If you have currently organized in folders in OS X, it will make the organization process much easier to copy them into the images folder in Windows 7 and they will be automatically entered in the photo library.
