my bad man, any 'must have' apps to recommend?
I highly recommend you spend a little time searching through existing threads on this forum. Most of your questions have been asked and answered before, dozens or hundreds of times. A quick search will reveal answers in seconds, rather than posting and waiting for responses to trickle in.

Hey, no problem rednano. Congrats on the switch! I can appreciate your excitement. You will love your MBP and Macs in general. In terms of apps that is a hard one to answer because everyone has a different perspective/need. There are a bunch of threads/sites on the best apps for the Mac. I would start with those and go from there. Unlike the Windows world if you don't like the app simply delete it - no registry bloat and crap left behind (save a pref file or something). That alone is worth the switch!
 
Congras with your new Macbook…there is not much because everything is installed I am happy with it….save my money except for Office and I am not sure if it is worth to install Adobe CS5 on my MBP because I already have CS3 on my Windows desktop which is very powerful. Also thinking about Final Cut Pro X even thought I have Adobe Premiere CS3.
