Installing Windows 7 on MBA

I got my new MacBook Air last week and the receipt total (attached) had me LOL'ing.

Being new to MBAs, I need to find a way to install Windows 7 on it for work purposes. I did this before via Bootcamp on my Mac Mini, but am not sure what the easiest method to accomplish this is on the optical driveless MBA (without spending any more $$$, that is).

Google turned up the following link, is this the best guide currently available?

TIA for your responses.

Either that way or purchasing an external optical drive as set out here:-

Maybe my thread can help... http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ru...ro-how-video-mac-air-dualboot-win7-64bit.html

Let me know if you have any other questions. I would say .iso via usb or optical drive would be fine. I have used a usb to for linux, but not bootcamp windows. Anyone try a usb with bootcamp before?
