As far as I know and as far as I've done it for myself and other people is to export the favorites from IE and import the file. I've been told by a friend who is an IT person that you can copy the favorites folder from the Windows side and then choose the import option from Safari and select all of the favorites from the folder to get them into Safari. I have never tried this approach, so I cannot say with any certainty if it truly works.
