Hey cousins, I just purchased a macbook pro (mid 2012) and I had a few questions. I'm a life-long windows users so I'm not familiar with the os x environment.
1.) What's the best tool to control the fan while i'm in OS X? I know if I use bootcamp -> win 7, I can use lubbo's macbook fan tool
2.) There's a few apps I want to run that I only have the MS version for/are only made for MS, specifically the 2010 office suite (word/excel/ppt) and dbpoweramp (dBpoweramp: CD Ripper & Audio Converter. Secure ripping to mp3, FLAC, m4a, Apple Lossless & WMA). I plan on installing win7 via bootcamp, but I understand that I can't access the mac hdd in windows and vice versa? I would like to be able to do this so I can work on ppts and convert audio files that are on my mac hdd in win7
3.) I have a samsung 840 ssd that I recently purchased. I don't really do anything that intensive (coding and light gaming at most)...is it even worth it to swap the ssd with the hdd? I heard that the bootcamp booting into win7 takes forever
4.) Could I put ubuntu on my system or is it not possible to have osx/win7/ubuntu? If so, how would I be able to do it? Would following these two guides be enough?

5.) I have this TV: (Amazon.com: Samsung UN32EH5000 32-Inch 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV (Black): Electronics) what's the best/cheapest way to hook my mbp (1680x1050 matte display mbp -> 1080p tv)...preferably have the audio and video in one link
thanks!
