I can answer a couple offhand (more when I get back to my Mac). I'd add that the Mac help system seems to be rather more helpful than that found on Windows and it's worth trying it.

On windows you can set the taskbar to scroll down to a one pixel line at the bottom of the screen, and it only scrolls up when you hover your mouse over it. I like to use all the real estate on the screen and want to do the same thing on the Mac. So how do you make the menu bar at the top and the task bar at the bottom disappear in some equivalent or similar way?
You can do it for the Dock (at the bottom by default). You can also move it to the left or right side if you find that helpful. It's somewhere in the Control Panel options. I don't think that you can do it for the menu bar (but I'm not 100% certain - I've never gone looking for that).

One potential problem I see is verifying cross-browser capability. On my PC I can verify changes I make to our website software on IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but do all those browsers also run on Mac?
Firefox runs on Mac. There is at least one unofficial Chrome port. And Safari originated on the Mac, of course. For IE you need Windows. (Which your Mac will run either via Boot Camp if you don't mind restarting or alongside Mac OS if you get some virtualisation software to support it - Parallels or VMware's Fusion are the main two. If you have a Windows license you can use, the Boot Camp option will cost you nothing).
