Hi Red!
This may sound silly, but why are you trying to hook your eDGe up to your computer? Are you transferring books? Files? I have not ever hooked my big eDGe up to my computer -- no need! I connect wirelessly over our LAN when I need to, otherwise the eDGe
is a computer.
You might get some good out of these videos:

Android is different from Windows Mobile, as you say. One of the biggest differences I have found is in the way they handle running applications. I use a task manager/app killer all the time on Windows Mobile (or my battery will die), but discovered that app killers can actually be harmful in Android because of the way it prioritizes shutting apps down. Not sure I'm explaining that right . . .
Enjoy your eDGe, and welcome to MobileRead!
