Heh... Windows 7 does seem even more intelligent : it DOES know on what Windows is installed on!

I find leaving it enabled helps overall performance a bit regardless.
Afterall, no matter how fast a SSd is, its still not as fast as RAM.

Did you happen to notice that the article also mentions that Win 7 turns off defrag also where applicable?

I was glad to see the article because the article lends "official" support on the matters of superfetch and defrag.

Also have an Asus ha1002xp netbook with Win 7 Ultimate installed.
My install did turn both off.

Well, it did exactly turn off defrag completely.
It, just removed the SSDs from it and left the spinning drives on auto.
