where should I start?

Have been enjoying many many nice photos here. I would like to learn how to take pictures like your pros.

Upon studying, I think a D200 + that famous 18 - 200 VR lens is a great deal to start. What do you think? I also need recommendations for photo related softwares.

Many thanks in advance.
