Being used to Windows for so long you'll have some adjusting to do, but not too much.

Well indeed there is a different base; all MacOS versions up to and including 9 were just 
evolutions (and based on Apple's own internals, no link to MSDOS or CP/M like base systems, 
nor Unix). OS-X is a complete rewrite based on BSD and is in fact incompatible to previous 
MacOS versions (at least on the bottom; when it comes to configuration the surface is 
somewhat similar).

Since the user interface is pretty good and thoroughly designed, you'll find your way around 
easily without Unix knowledge although some underwater things might seem odd (for 
example file permissions are a common cause of confusion). If you have some Linux 
experience, you'll understand what's going on under the hood easily as well which makes it 
all even easier.

Enjoy your Mac (you will) :o)
