Getting a MacBook in 9 days, Question?

I am getting a Mac in 9 days (sooo happy) and am wondering a few things.





1. Any applications that I should download


2. How to setup Windows 7 on VMWare Fusion 2.0


3. How to mount disk images on a Mac


4. Should I put Internet Cleanup on it


5. How good is battery life?


6. Anything I should know about Macs and anything I should do to make it better?





Thanks.
