Easy money 🙂
Let me make a note for the new generation... believe it or not the first commercial implementation of SQL Server was actually re-branded Sybase. Microsoft bought Sybase source code 😉
All you need is to follow SQL Server migration documentation... check here http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration-sybase.aspx

It's been a LONG time since I upgraded from Sybase to SQL Server. I went from ASE 10 (I think) to SQL Server 2000 (the newest version at the time) and we used DTS. To Paul's point, Sybase and SQL Server were even closer in architecture than they are now, and our migration went very well.
My advice - carefully check your tables that have identity values. We did have to do something with them, but that was a long time ago, and I don't really remember.
I wish I had more timely advice to give you....

There is another Sybase migration discussion going on that may assist...this post in particular may be useful to you:
