Just make sure you sign out of the store after using it.

Lol, there are loads about, learn some keyboard shortcuts is the best tip for me on a mac, makes it some much simpler to use. Also look into the shortcuts for the trackpad, three finger swipe so you can swap between windows is always a good one if you've come from Windows.

Look up the Apple U "how to" videos - lots to learn. Have a play with the function buttons especially F3 and F4 ones. If you have an iPhone make sure it's connected up via iCloud so you can share documents/bookmarks/browsing history and use iTunes to make backups. Get used to tabs in finder and how to move files about and see if you think file tags are useful

Do a Google search for trackpad "gestures".
If you haven't already done so, organise some form of backup. Cheapest option is a USB drive then use Time Machine, which is brilliant.

I would experiment with the multi touch gestures, I think 4 finger swipe to the left or right flips between screens/desktops similar to the iPad.

Also there are s few shortcuts that work on all programs, eg Apple key + comma (,) always brings up preferences, Apple + W = close window, there are loads more which are handy.
