Many, many people have done this already, but I don't think there is a
"guide" per se - every users requirements will be different.

However, I guess the sensible thing to do would be to list the
applications you cannot live without (Word, AutoCAD, Photoshop,
Simlogic, My Little Pony simulator, etc) and ensure you have suitable
replacements. Once you have all the bases covered, make your default
boot partition your Ubuntu partition for a few months. Once you're
weaned completely, GpartEd to zap the windows partitions entirely.
