I would wait the month in only for the new display. I have a 15" MBP/2.33 and the screen backlighting is the most obvious annoyance. Not a big deal, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the system.
If we're lucky the new version will get Santa Rosa (new chipset) to fix Intel's 945PM 3GB RAM limit. (among other benefits) If it does I'm trading up.
Montana, I use my MBP continually with both Mac and Windows software running side-by-side. Dual-booting is more interesting than useful since I'm not a gamer. Right now I'm using Parallels to run Windows, but VMWare's offering is looking excellent in beta form. Fast.
If your work systems are all web-based you shouldn't have any problem. Worst case you can run their Windows tools using virtualization, but check with your work IT dept. They may have tips or policy restrictions we can't know about.
Your Windows pic files will be a simple drag-copy. Other things will depend on the file type.
