One thing that may help is the screenless switchers podcast.
Simply go to http://screenlessswitchers.com
checkout their podcasts, you should find them helpful.
The most important thing to remember while learning the mac, is that
osx is not windows. Don't try to apply windows concepts to osx ones,
try to pretend you're learning a new language. Sure, some things
will be the same, but in general, a word in english is not related to
the same spelling in spanish or french or german. Osx may do things
similarly to windows at times, but do not let that make you think
everything is the same. If you approach learning osx with the
mindset that it isn't windows, and it isn't going to behave the same
way, you'll learn a whole lot faster. Don't try to relate every osx
concept to a similar windows feature, this will only slow you down,
and make your transition harder.
You need to just pplunge in and imerse yourself in osx and you'll
notice how much faster the learning process goes.
I realize this sounds off the wall, but it's truly easier to start
from scratch, you'll realize it makes more sense when you stop trying
to compare, and just take it as it is.
