This is true, but as I said there was no reason for me not to before hand as I could never see myself getting a Mac and space isn't really an issue. However moving over and converting isn't really feasable as my collection is over 200gb.
I would go ahead and convert the Lossless files to MP3 but is there anyway to do this so that all the WMA files are converted and placed in their original folders rather than me hunting for every single lossless album I have and converting manually?
I'd probably recommend converting to FLAC - it's still lossless and an open format so should be supported on all platforms (and definitely supported in VLC).

As for batch converting, I think dbpoweramp as a batch convert function. just do a search for all *.wma files (if I understood you correctly that you wanted all WMA files converted as all WMA files were WMA lossless)

Yeah I thought I could do as much, I use poweramp to rip in the first place, I might make a FLAC copy along with the WMA copy in the same folder so I can keep the WMA files for Zune and the FLAC files won't be added onto the database.

On another note is there any software (bar itunes) that would allow me to stream my collection to the mac and the library be viewable in itunes (or another program other than browsing the files over network and playing manually).

I use Subsonic (as it supports streaming to iOS / Android, web browsers and XBMC), but that wouldn't work on iTunes. Sorry mate
