Hey, sounds like you're me a few weeks ago :)

Meshsmooth is called "Smooth" in Maya, you'll find it in the Polygons menu. You can dabble at bit with the Smooth Proxy one as well, but I don't personally enjoy it for what it's worth. The vanilla Smooth you apply, and can remove, like you do with the MeshSmooth.

Oh, you can remove it by going into the Attribute Editor (CTRL-A), then finding the node called something like polySmooth1 or whatnot, then hit the Select button at the buttom, activate the main interface and then hit the Delete button. Hooray.

My experience thus far is that Maya ain't bad.. ain't bad at all.. :)
