As for the virus issue, I've been running W7 for 4 months now, I haven't installed any AntiVirus client and use IE8 for all my browsing. Haven't had a single problem with viruses or malware.
Given I ran Vista for 3 years with Symantec Endpoint and never had a single quarantined item so I think I've been pretty safe for a while now. The entire redesign of Vista was to make it more secure. I work in IT and to be honest I can't actually recall seeing any virus outbreaks on a Vista PC at any of my clients (over 1200 systems managed) since it came out.
Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
