Should be pretty painless. I put my fiance's mother through it last Christmas and she did exceptionally well, as did my roommate the year before. Just remember that your Windows programs won't run on it, you will need to get Mac versions. Your documents/pictures/music etc. should move over seemlessly. One caveat on music, you will need Windows Media Player for OS X if you have music/video encoded in Windows Media formats. Also, remember that it is a bit of a learning process. Most people have the biggest problem because they try to do things the XP way on a Mac. Remember that the Mac will be more intuitive so you'll find yourself not having to jump through hoops anymore, which is a bit of a shock to new Mac users. Oh, and enjoy the switch, everyone who I know that's done it is much happier and actually now use their computers for useful things other than just trying to keep them virus-free.
