    Dual boot and use both. That's what I do right now.

    Otherwise, I like Win7 right now although I find that it lags for certain games for me, usually MW2 and BFBC2. And it's the same hardware so I know it's Win7 that's the problem. But I've also heard that the 64bit is what the issue may be and that's what I have.

    Well it depends. If you have XP and you're loving it there's not a whole lot that will change. If you have video cards that use Directx10 that's a plus you can't get on XP. It also depends, if you're going from an XP 32 bit to a window 64bit I'd suggest it. Over all 7 just a nice number of small features that make it useful (like the ability to actually fix problems and tell you what drivers you need). But I am also running 7 Ultimate, so I can't vouch for any lower edition.
    Over all? Eh why not. It'll give you a bit of new stuff to play with.

    I agree with linux,

    XP/7 dual boot would be great but I still think windows XP is more stable tho.
    On the other hand you could always install linux
