    Hi all,

    I've basically always used windows especially for about the last 15 years. However I very much like the new MBA from a hardware perspective:
    16:10 screen with reasonable resolution, 256 GB ssd, ULV-cpu, light-weight.

    Basically the way today's laptops should be but on windows side always have a crappy 16:9 low res screen. Example: Samsung 900x, which on top is more expensive than the new MBA. MBA once an Apple product with reasonable pricing especially compared to a Sony Vaio Z...

    However for compatibility reasons I would prefer a dual-boot with windows 7. Is that easy to achieve?
    Second question: How much does battery life suffer when using windows 7?
