Boot Camp Windows 7 (64-bit) on a Macbook Air (late 2010)

Installing Windows 7 (64-bit) on a Macbook Air (late 2010 model) via Boot Camp running Snow Leopard (10.6), I ran into porblems with the trackpad driver blue screening. Taking care with the installation process, I was able to avoid the problems.

Updating Boot Camp before Windows after the initial installation is complete is the key:

1. Setup the partition using Boot Camp. I also use rEFIt to (a) allow installation from a USB drive, and (b) allow me to run Windows 8 in the last partition. You are only allowed 4 primary partitions, but there is a method to install Windows 7 without the extra 100MB partition it wants to create.
2. Boot from the USB drive without any network connectivity and install Windows 7 as you normally would. If you have a network cable attached, after the installation is complete, you'll be in a race with the Windows 7 updater to install the Boot Camp update first. If you're using wifi, it's easy, just don't put your password in until Boot Camp is all up-to-date.
3. Install the original Boot Camp WindowsSupport program, and reboot as requested.
4. Check Windows 7 automatic updating is set to "manual", and enable your network connection.
5. Run the Apple Software Update program and install the Boot Camp 3.2 update, and reboot as requested.
6. Run the Apple Software Update program and install the Boot Camp 3.3 update, and reboot as requested.
7. Install the Windows 7 SP1.
8. Install the Windows 7 updates from Microsoft.

The same process worked for me in the Windows 8 Developer Preview installation.
