yes its possible on the 8gb ssd (im posting from win7 on my 8gb mini right now ) but only with a vLite'd install.

a full non modified install recommends 10gb for install ( install failed, i tried ). With my vLite'd iso ( which was a little over 2gb ) the installer recommended 7.3gb and ended up installing in about 4.6gb leaving me with 2.2gb left.

Meanwhile I ended trying to install it from a vLited version, this one: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4618...uild.7000.LiTE and was successful, leaving me with about the same with you, after minimizing the page file to 512/768. I like what I see so far in the Win7, just had it for about 10 minutes. Hope everything will work properly. thanks for the reply

whoops i just realized that i forgot to turn off hibernation, aka wasted disk space. so my actual windows install was only 3.2gb yay room for more programs hahah
