no, pc's use sound waves as a communication medium whereas macs use more of a digital smoke signal, if you will. we should see the technology to converge those two mediums within the next two hundred yeras or so.

only the mac can see the pc so the mac will have to drag them out of the shared folder onto the mac hard drive

And if you want the Mac to be visible to Windows boxes, get and install Samba (neweer versions of OSX might have it included).

or simply turn on 'Windows Sharing' in OSX System Preferences - Sharing:
"Click Start to let selected Windows users access shared folders on this computer using SMB/CIFS. This will also let Windows users print to shared printers."
