Well you always could study Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts. Plus have you gone to your System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse, Keyboard Shortcuts tab and created your own short cuts?
Lastly everyone Mac computer expert knows in Windows in messed up in their proprietary shortcuts. In every Unix based it was always highlight the word, middle click to paste the copy in the location you want. In OS X it is command+c=copy, command+v=paste.
One more thing, this is not Windows, it is a Mac. Your transition will go smoother is you try to remember that.
P.S.: You seem to be the prefect candidate for the book Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition. I personally switch several coworkers and they all praised this easy to read book.
