There isn't really anything you have to do besides transfer over all your stuff if you need to and to customize it how you want. Oh, that's right, make sure you have all the latest updates as they just released an update yesterday for the new MacBooks.
Is it your first Mac?
How do you like the display?
Congrats on your first Mac!
I really want to get one of those new MacBooks but I'm still not sure about the display. I'm afraid the glass will be too reflective for my liking.
How about the trackpad, do you find it hard to use? Is it hard to push the button?

i think you can actually change that to where the tap is the click, and the "actual" click doesnt do anything...i think i read that somewhere...ummm
you can still do tap clicking, just go into system preferences (click the Apple on the top left it'll be the 4th one down) and click on the trackpad icon to customize it how you want. you can even set a right click area on the trackpad.
^nevermind, I see you already found it out!
nope there is no backlight.
and the temperture is not that bad as of now i cant really tell i jus recently started using it now becuase i was in skool after i got it. but its pretty gret so far.
all i gotta say is that the new design is really amazing.
No need for any maintenance software. Nor any anti-virus software. I've been using Macs since the birth of the Web, and never got a virus.
Pages is pretty decent. If you already got it, then try it before springing for any other. If you don't, you might consider getting the Home/School version of Office 2008. (No need for the full version unless you're running a corporation.)
As for other software, pretty much everything is there already. You might consider downloading Firefox as an alternative to Safari, because a handful of websites with a lot of graphics work better on Firefox. (Though I use Safari as my main browser.)
Otherwise -- have fun!
I don't use iPhoto so I can't answer your question. Although, congrats on your Macbook! Post some pictures!
