Yep, "mouse acceleration" is always on in OS X, as far as I know. You may be interested in a program called "USBOverdrive" which provides a lot of tweaking for mice/joysticks/gamepads -- it's available from versiontracker.com

2) The font seems to be a little blurry. Everything looks crystal clear except for the smaller fonts on webpages and even in, for example, the url typing area.
Yep, that's font-smoothing for ya. You can turn this off in Safari's preferences, or system-wide in the Accessibility pane of the System Preferences.

3) In the MS world...I used DVD Shrink to back up my DVDs and then NERO to burn them. What programs should I use to do the equivelant operations.
DVD2One will shrink a DVD, and then you can burn it with Roxio Toast.

Roxio's Popcorn will also shrink and burn all in one package.
