1. Is there any advantage of upgrading yet or best to wait until 7 is well proven.
Personally I wouldn't bother unless you really need some feature that XP doesn't have. Otherwise I'd just wait until you buy a new computer.
I recently bought a new laptop which came with Windows 7 and while it's better than Vista (e.g. copying files doesn't take forever) I'm yet to see anything that makes it a real improvement over XP other than features like DX10 that Microsoft deliberately refused to release for XP.
