I'm on it now...

Bootcamp, same as vista, just burn the ISO with toast. you can run it on VMware but no aero, aero is what makes it look good.http://dailyapplereview.net84.net/?p=434

2a) 32 bit or 64 bit

if you have 2 gb ram, then go with 32 bit, some ppl have had trouble with 64 bit

2b) fusion,, or bootcamp
parallels

As i said, it looks not as good with fusion or parallels, so go with bootcamp.

There have been some quite good feedback from users installing windows7 on the unibody MBP's. Quite painless for a beta product, just a few caveats.

OP should definately read the Engadget article.
