Turning your computer off saves energy, but can cause you to miss
updates for the OS and AV. Your solution is a reasonable compromise. I
tend to leave mine on 24/7.
It's my understanding there will be an upgrade from XP, but I can't
imagine spending money on this proposition. Win 7 is cool and fast,
but I don't intend to upgrade until I get a new machine. There's
nothing s spectacular in Win 7 that I'd upgrade.
