Well, just realizing it's not Windows is the first step.
There will be a bit of a learning curve involved, but nothing too bad.
eric's switcher's faq is a must read here.

And remember, mac's software is much simpler than MS -- just relax and let the ease come over you. When I switched, I kept trying to do things the MS way -- got frustrated! Then a light bulb came on and I realized that the mac way was much easier, and I just let go and live became rosy again! Don't overthink things.

Never going back (except that at work I am subjected to MS -- boo!)
