Running Windows 7 on MacBook Air?

I'm curious to hear from MBA (late 2010) owners regarding their experience running Windows 7 on the MBA. How did the MBA hardware handle it? Responsiveness? How did you install?

Macbook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

I am a lot further after watching some videos on YouTube. Thanks for the hint.
But there are still some open questions which I could not fins an answer to.
For example if I can access my files from both of the operate systems.
When I run Windows do I have access f..e. to the photos on the Mac Partition? If this is not possible is there a solution of making a common partiion for files which are used on both systems?

For me it's an attempt using the Mac OS. Without the background of my Windows system I wouldn't try it.
There are too many programs I have to use which are not Mac compatible. But I am courious finding out about the Mac System as well to know what people talking about. With this having both systems on my machine I would be able to learn to know Mac without being without Windows.

I think I will definatley wait until the new MacBooks are coming out with stronger processors as I think for a dual system I can't have enough ower.
Thanks for your help.
