Dump the MSN Messenger because it doesn't work half the time. Most Mac users use the free AdiumX or another third party application.
The book you want is either OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual or Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition. You will learn a lot from either of these easy to use, funny & informative (with pictures). I almost guarantee that you will find most of your answers in either of these books.
To network a Mac to a Vista box read the article Sharing files between a Windows Vista Home Edition PC and a Mac running OS X Leopard 10.5. To get a Mac on a Windows Domain (usually work domains) bookmark the page MacWindows.com. To see all the software for a Mac bookmark the pages Version Tracker and MacUpdate. To hack your Mac read the pages MacOSXHints and Accelerate Your Macintosh (with their excellent Drive search lasso).
For more web site search for forum links because their are some threads with people's favorite web sites.
