I've used Mac for well over 20 years. Windows too at various jobs. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Do take a class or online instruction, as there are some fundamental differences in the way programs behave (closing all window doesn't quit the program).
Time machine is a breeze. Hook up your external, boot TM, select disc and you're done.
Photos (formerly iPhoto) has taken a few odd turns for the worst with the latest versions, but since you'r learning from scratch you won't have all the old habits I do.
If you're already familiar with MS Office, they do make a Mac version. The native Pages, Numbers, etc are workable, but not as good as Word, Excel, etc.
If you don't like the keyboard, ditch it. I use the Apple keyboard and a Logitech mouse that's 2x the size of the Apple mouse. Keyboard I've gotten used to, but do prefer the extended (with 10 key to the right). If you don't already touch type consider the Mavis Beacon DVD typing course, and if you really want to go off the reservation (like me) learn DVORAK layout. It's superior to Qwerty in so many ways...
