In my less than pleasant experience, it must have the libraries. Some shots 
were lost that way, and with hours of searching couldn't find where on the 
hard drive it kept them. It's very mac-like, a common thing with windows 
these days.

One of the principal reasons I haven't invested much time in trying to
use Lightroom is the library.  I don't need it and don't want it.  But I
don't know if Lightroom can be used without it.
