I will say though that i bought a Areca card and it was a PIA to get working and i returned it for my LSI card. I've never had an issue with it. I hope things wrk out better fr you.
Vista is no more complicated then 7. They use the same installer same driver loading same 1024 offset. The only differnce is that with windows 7 if you have Pro or Ultimate you get a 100/200MB partition at the beginning of the drive in case you want to run the disk encryption stuff.

I agree with the dual boot option. Unlike mechanical drives you will not have to worry about performance loss of Vista OS because it is not at the leading edge of the platters!
