    Windows:

    a) Use HomeGroups with Win7
    b) Use Folder Sharing for pre Win7

    Mac:

    You should be able to. It would be easier to access the Windows 7 machine from the XP machine I think though as Windows 7 has more sharing options and features, along with being easier to manage.

    It is entirely possible to share between Windows 7 and Windows XP, very easily.

    If there's any computers that DON'T have Win 7, just use standard folder sharing.
