if you want to ir need to, you can boot windows on a new mac (or run windows programs). it's kinda like going from a Saab to a cavalier, but you can do it.
I recommend David Pogue's "The Missing Manual" as a great book to ease the transition. There's plenty of websites out there these days too.
I do Mac consulting, and I know others here do too, so feel free to ask away.
The free apps that come with OS X are mostly terrific. I used to use a third-party mail client, now I use the one that's already there. works great. don't bother to install the crappy camera software, just use iPhoto or iMovie. Do i need to talk about iTunes?
Plus, there's a whole universe of FOSS (free / open source software) including NeoOffice (rather than buying MSOffice). Check http://www.versiontracker.com (they have windows stuff too)
The browser that comes with it , Safari, is secure, quick and pretty. I use Camino as well, but don't fear the one that comes with it. It's not Internet Exploder.
Get it, do it, you'll be happy! I love my Mac(s) like I love my Saab, and for similar reasons.
