I had also never used Android before, and I don't perform nearly as many "hacks" as some people here, and it's not a problem for me. All I wanted to be able to do was add a Twitter client, an IM app, a better browser and a few games. Otherwise, I pretty much use the machine as-is. I haven't even tried using docs to go yet (which is included) because all I cared about was handwriting notes and annotations.
