Anyone dual booting an SSD?
I Just bought an Intel 180GB SSD and I plan on allocating 1/2 to Windows 7 and 1/2 to Windows 8.1.
Any known issues with dual booting on an SSD?

I have not had any issues dual booting with an SSD other than space since I did it with a 120GB OCZ SSD.
Windows 7 and Windows 8. I ultimately decided to just use one per drive.
