Regarding number 1... Installing non-apple SSD in a macbook isn't smooth sailing either. The difference is that in windows the OS isn't necessarily playing against you.

I run two MacBooks with non-apple SSD's (and Linux). What goes wrong for you? (serious question)

(Disclosure: I'd prefer to run a ThinkPad or something, but meh, boss-provided machine.)

The problem that the parent is referring to is hardware compatibility in OS X, which using Linux obviates.
