vCard Splitter
I recently wanted to export a group of contacts from Address Book on the Mac to Outlook in Windows.
The only way to export contacts from the Mac is to "Export Group as vCard". This creates one vCard file that has multiple contacts in it. It's a pretty straight-forward and easy process. The resulting file can be easily attached to an email and sent to someone else.
The tricky part is that Outlook doesn't recognize that there are multiple contacts in the one vCard.
Enter vCard Splitter. vCard Splitter is a Mac utility that will take the single vCard and split it into individual vCards which you can then drag and drop into Outlook.
Note: I found a Windows utility by the same name, but it crashed when I launched it.

Great solution.
Of course I have to nit pick because I just did the same thing a different way 2 days ago.

Apparently if you select all your contacts in Address Book and hold "option" (do it for at least a second, as it often doesn't register the key being held) and then drag them out of the window into a folder on your hard drive, it will save the contacts as multiple cards instead of "Persons Name with 130 others".
It took me a few tries to make it work, but it does. I don't know why there isn't a menu option for this, but there you go.
