Hi guys, sorry but I have not contributed on this topic yet and felt I just HAD to share my 2cents.
I agree with what you all say about trying to "preserve" your SSDs for as long as possible, but seriously, have a look at the below article:
http://www.storagereview.com/ssd_performance_review_270tb_written
Given the speed at which SSD's advances, I am pretty convinced nobody would WANT to run their current SSD's in 5 years time any more in any event. I am not so much talking about raw sequential read / writes (which is almost at the liimit of SATA III already), but I recon that the next big advances in SSDs will come from increasing the random read / write speed which is still hovering around SATA I speeds.
I am not proclaiming that you go and write unneccesary stuff to your SSD, but seriously is this worth all the effort?

Re: A Windows 7 Build with SSD, but a New Way
It's almost no effort at all IMHO (5 minute change) for peace of mind, well for mine at least.

Lee, I am curious about something else, have you ever considered to write your TMP files (and potentially user files) to a RAM Drive?

OK Questions
I have install my SSD it only had Windows and BF3 on it all other programs are on the another Driver and I have a third drive as storage.
So I do Lee's little process except right at the beginning I hit a "problem". You in win explorer it shows my Windows drive as C:, my programs as D: and storage as F:
I had to manually change this in Disk Management because when I installed it randomly chose different letters.
Now when I do the repair and go to command, I ran the line Robocopy exactly as Lee said. But then it said it couldn't find C:\users. I run a simple Dir search and find that c:\ has all the program directories and D: has the windows directories.
So my question is can I just reverse the C: and D: in Lee instructions? I was going to do this but part of the instructions is to delete the users folder which could fuck everything up
