First and foremost, expect to spend a week or two getting the hang of OS X. Just, don't get frustrated. 2. Use the built-in OS X Help as much as possible. 3. Google for: OS X tutorial for tons more, and see YouTube, too.. 4. Try to find a more experienced Mac user to mentor you. 5. On www . apple . com read the FAQs, Forums and Knowledge-base articles. 6. Try to find this book at the library, among others: Teach yourself Visually: Mac OS X leopard - Wiley Publishing (ISBN: 978-0-470-10167-4) 7. Try to find this book at the nearest book store ($36). 7. Buy it on Amazon for about $22 plus shipping. 8. Post here if you get stumped, sometimes OS X is so easy nobody thinks to explain how. REALLY! 9. Call Apple Tech Support or ask at the nearest Apple Store, if nothing else works. 10. Can't find a program for OS X , like you used on Windows? Post it here, too. Bonus TIP: iChat has "Desktop Sharing" built-in, so others can "show you" how to do some real magic. Now, sit back, relax and have fun! I’m green with envy…

Inside that is a header for first-time Mac users called 'Exploring Mac OS X'. It is a comprehensive guide to learning the Mac, including a sub-section on switching from Windows. It should really help you out, and hopefully will answer 90% of your questions. oh and congrats on the new Mac!
