Like almost anything, it depends on the specific person. For some people the transition is easy, while for others they have a difficult time stopping thinking about how Windows does things and shifting to how a Mac does them. You might find it worthwhile to read these articles:
Switched from Windows to Mac? - Apple Support

There are a number of similar sites that you can check out. Apple Stores also offer Getting Started: Mac sessions, if you have an Apple Store in your area.
My usual advice for new switchers is to try to forget what you know about using a computer and approach the Mac as if you've never used a computer before. I've found that to be the best way to get past the habits and thought patterns you undoubtedly formed using a Window system.
Once you have your Mac, by all means come back here for help if you have questions or encounter issues.
