Student edition having problems installing reports Engadget. It will definitely clear up - I believe a patch/workaround is already available - but a choice of XP or Windows 7 is good to have.
TINman, how do you mean that Win7 helps with SSD performance over XP? It's
disk performance improved over Vista. SSD bandwidth is higher than platters so is faster. The TRIM performance improvement is a disk feature, not a W7 feature, that reduces write merge and flushes. I think. Still working on understanding it.

You can even purchase Windows 7 Home Premium for $29.99 directly from Microsoft if you are a student (I could always give you a purchase link as well if you aren't a student).
