Default Digital Software - Migrating System

Hi Guys

I have just taken the plunge to upgrade from my trusty Kodak DX6490 digital to a Canon Powershot G7.
I have owned the Kodak for around 6 years and over that period have built up quite a library on my PC which is separted into to specific folders within the Kodak Easyshare software.
When I switch to the new Canon, I would like to avoid having 2 sets of photo management software running at the same time. However I don't know if it is possible to migrate my library into the Canon software and still preserve the folder structure.
I suppose I could review all the raw files on my hard drive and reassign each photo to a new folder in the Canon software but with over 1000 images, I'm convinced that I will lose the will to live before I complete the exercise.

Has anyone got any experience of migrating to a different manufacturer's software and how they handled it? Or, should I look for another solution eg upload my Kodak folders to a web based library and then use that also for my Canon images?

Any thoughts and tips would be appreciated.

Cheers
