Windows 7 install - space & license version request

[Tinger]

Hi all. I'm thinking about putting windows on the MBA, and have a couple of questions.

My needs are very limited for Windows, notably MS Office, Access, MS Project type stuff plus Quicken since there's no good Mac alternative to Quicken.

I have a 256 SSD, and the MBA is my second machine for travel (and for windows use), so I doubt I will ever fill it up.

I do not think I will need to run Parallels.

Questions:

What W7 license should I get and why? (version, OEM vs. not, etc)

How much space to allocate for the windows install?

Finally - is there a good tutorial about doing the install that someone can point me to?

Thanks!

1.) If you're going to get Windows 7, I would recommend Home Premium edition since it's the most basic and does everything you need it to.

2.) Around 50-20GBs in my opinion. It's really up to you.

3.) Boot-camp really does it all for you, but if you need a tutorial: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/boot_camp_install-setup.pdf
