Are there any compelling reasons for me to upgrade to Maven 3 immediately? Nothing stands out from the release notes.
Have you upgraded to Maven 3 yet? If so, what benefits did you see?
Speed man, speed :) New Maven runs MUCH faster then Maven2.
Just try it:
alias mvn3='M2_HOME=/opt/apache-maven-3.0 /opt/apache-maven-3.0/bin/mvn'
And execute mvn3 clean install in your plain old Maven2 project to feel the difference.
I have upgraded to maven 3. Everything is backward compatible. I have noticed better performance and clear logging. There aren't any compelling reasons yet. However, maven3 has new build phases that should be able to support better plugins with more control. Why not upgrade if everything will still work?

We need to setup a continuous integration infrastructure for a C# project. None of us has anything other than a very few user-side experience with these tools at all.
Our requirements would be:
we need a tool which runs on windows, because we want our project to be csc-built. Building with mono is not an option.
we use an SVN server and it's on linux, it needs to be able to get the source from that.
Could anyone of you more experienced collagues recommend a tool like that? :) Thanks in advance!
CruiseControl is a good choice. Have a look here: http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/

My network configuration doesn't allow the computer to run as a server, so Subversion and others are out. Github offers non-public version controlling only for paying customers.
Anybody knows a solution where a few developers can work on the same code, for free, without sharing it with the whole world. Even merging directories between pendrives would do, if such software exists.
I think you're confusing Git with GitHub.
Git can do all you want, for free.
BitBucket does private repositories for up to 5 developers. BitBucket does Git or Mercurial, take your pick.

In our dev environment we do have couple of services that is dependent on each other, which need to be deployed before we use the system. What would be the best solution. I tried ANT which seems like not a good solution. Thinking to use Maven but not sure where to start. Any Idea?
If you use Maven you can have the different services in different modules that and get them all packaged and deployed before you run a test suite or so. There is not much I can tell you in more detail apart from the fact that there are free books around that should help you with Maven usage.
Of course you can also do all that with Ant or other build systems. However I would definitely at least suggest to use a dependency management system like Ivy if you opt for Ant.

Is there a plugin that will show my github issues in visual studio?
Would be pretty cool to be able to see all that info inside the IDE
I don't know of any plugin offering a direct integration with GitHub bug tracker.
The Git Extensions don't include that feature (and there are one of the advanced plugin to integrate Git - not GitHub, just Git - within Visual Studio).
Maybe another soution would be to get some kind of integration with another bug tracking which then would be able to read from/write to the GitHub issue tracker.
This SO question, for instance, mentioned LightHouse (which isn't a good fit in your case, since it is not integrated with Visual Studio).

Besides the painful-to-install non-Windows Bugzilla, what open-source issue tracking programs can be recommended that are just as good but available as a regular windows-style install? (.exe or .msi)
You can try Redmine - a painless installation is provided by BitNami Redmine stack.
I have been working with Redmine for the last three weeks and it's love!
You can use Bitnami Stack to setup and running in few minutes.
Never used it, but Trac might be of use here. And yes, it does have a damn .exe. :)
