I have been able to squeeze over 9hrs on a single charge in XP. From what I've read, 1000H get about 5.5 - 6hrs. I bought it for school and taking notes in class. I have a desktop when I need performance.

Not the case here in Europe. That's not what I remembered, and I just checked a UK supplier who has it for £20 (< $40) less than the Linux version w/ 40GB SSD, which I got. Not regretting it after seeing your video - the benefits of the SSD outweigh the disadvantages for me. One trick for using SSD with XP is: NO Swapfile. Not even with 1GB RAM - get more RAM if it's a problem. If you use one, XP will use it, even if it doesn't need to. The 1000H with XP is $100 cheaper? Not the case here in Europe.
