MacBook Pro 2010 and Intel SSD disks

You cannot install Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 7.1 with an Intel SSD disk. When you installing Windows 7, no disk is detected. The error is known by Intel and Apple, but apparently no one wants to fix the problem.

Apple - Support - Discussions - 2010 13 "MBP 2.4GHz. No support for 3rd...

Therefore you should NOT buy Intel SSD disks when you have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 and must use an alternative operating system.
