I want to try org-mode. What's the shortest path from zero to typing?

Question

I want to give emacs' org-mode a try. What is the shortest path for me to accomplish that? Assume NO previous experience with emacs.

(I'm aware that other editors, like vim and textmate, have similar task lists. I'm specifically interested in learning about the emacs org-mode)

My laptop runs Win7 Home Premium x64
