Help with XP on a Netbook and SSD

I have a Acer Aspire One A150 - ZG5 Netbook that i've fitted a 128GB Crucial M4 SSD to.

Currently running Windows XP Pro and looking for a good guide for optimizing XP on a SSD, anyone know of such guide?

I tried XP but soon realised it was simply too old and really wanted an OS that supported SSD so I managed to find and install windows 7 for cheap

I'm now In the process of downloading a mountain of updates which seems to be taking forever!

Will be looking to optimze everything though.

I tried Windows 8 this week on another machine I've been installing and honestly I found the "Metro" interface counter intuitive and frustrating, after a couple of days I reverted the machine back to It's original Vista install and it felt much better.

I don't doubt the core of windows 8 is an improvement over windows 7 but the interface felt like Fisherprice had been drafted in to design it!

I have no desire to touch windows 8 again unless they allow the "Metro" interface to be disabled and re-instate the Start bar.
