Get Parallels or VMWare Fusion so you can run Windows apps w/o having to reboot.
I also recommend Yojimbo for organizing your data - there are similar progs for OS X but they all keep their files separately where Yojimbo uses a single sqlite db for easy backup. Chronosync is also useful for making frequent backups of critical files on schedule. And, a good text editor - smultron is free and will do the trick.
