I saw this video today on Cnet and it really shows a quick and easy guide to getting started with OS X. I think if enough Windows users see this it will address a lot of their concerns about how difficult they think it is learning how to use a Mac. This video should have been shown a long while ago. Here's the link.

Nice video, informative for Switchers and as a bonus Veronica Belmont is pretty cute.
At the end of that video Veronica mentions this OS X Keyboard Shortcuts and this Adding & Removing Application is OS X video - just in case you wanted to watch them but couldn't find them. I know CNET TV is not exactly user-friendly, it's only in Beta.
CNET's Apple Mac: Everything You Need To Know About Mac Systems and Software. This page has links to all the videos, reviews, blogs, etc.

These videos are really helping me because i just bought a macbook pro and am trying to learn how to use Mac OS X.
Veronica is so funny, sadly she is leaving CNet to do better things -
Yes, I realized a lot of the Windows switchers are not truly "switchers" because a lot of them prefer to use Windows at least 90% on their new Mac. After several posts they tend to reveal that they don't want to use OS X right away in fear that it's too complicated to learn when it's actually a very low learning curve and not a whole lot different than how they ran Windows.
Veronica Belmont's video shows exactly what most differentiates OS X from Windows. Now new switchers need to drop the fear and ignore the myth that there's no software on Macs. Aside from gaming Apple would have gone out of the Mac business if after all these years there was still no software.
Hopefully Cnet will show a video relating to available software on the Mac. -
She doesn't safely remove hardware!

I think you nerds need to get over the lady doing the presenting (who isnt THAT attractive anyway) and examine the content of the video. To summarize, put stuff on an external hard drive then copy to your MBP. Also, she explains what the red and green buttons do.
MINDBLOWING. Seriously, this video was completely retarded. If you can browse the web to this website, read the forums, and come across the link to this video, you're way above the level of even needing to look at the video. -
True, its pretty simple compared to the other Mac guides out there but its a nice start for Windows users who've never used Mac OS X at all.
And Veronica Belmont is attractive.
Excellent Cnet Video for True Mac Switchers
