How does Windows run on it? I've heard bad things about Windows and some SSDs.

Well one of the problems with SSD's is that you can lose all your data from a power surge.

i made a mistake on my post and wrote Windows.
i mean from POST screen to Ubuntu Log in Window = 4 secs
from POST screen to Windows Vista = 11 secs.

Kinda...the new ones comes with a system on them that prevents things like that.

Any electronic component can get smoked by a power surge. Even magnetic drives have a fair bit of electronics packed into them that will die if you pass them a large enough spike (although you could conceivably replace the electronics on a magnetic HD and recover some or all of your data)

If you're smart you'll have your PC and other expensive electronics protected from spikes anyway. Nearby lightning strikes can put some pretty impressive transients down your wiring.

if you don't have a surge protector the you should probably get one SSD or no SSD
