1. Yes
2. OK
3. I am convinced any camera can be used to make interesting works of art when it's held by a creative and well trained photographer :)
I like the argument that "It's not the camera, it's the person" - the argument reminds us to stop obsessing over the gear, also to take responsibility for the photos we are churning out. ie : if they aren't compelling with a 3 MP camera they still won't be compelling with a 12 MP camera.
It's a concept that we can't buy our way into better photos, we have to make them with creativity and knowledge of the craft.
But there are practical limits of course LOL, I'd hate to shoot an event with only a Kodak EasyShare :) Oh I suppose that was the point of this thread.
Have fun!

I do not believe there is any advantage to the Windows 7 editions when it comes to photography. They are all fairly similar. Windows 7 professional can support more RAM, more physical CPUs and more storage.
For more details about the differences, check out the Wikipedia Article: Windows 7 editions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As for any advantage, I do not believe there is a massive difference. For most people, the 16 GB RAM limit on Win7 Home Premium is more than enough right now. Also, you'll be hard pressed to find a consumer PC with more than one physical CPU.
Between the Windows 7 versions there is no difference between the graphics systems. So your photos will show up the same under each version given that you are using the same hardware.
You mention 4x5 photography. If your scanning your photos, a scanner will work the same under all versions of Windows 7. So no worries there.
Hope these points help.
