Which OS Performs Best With SSDs?

Lucas123 writes "Linux, Vista and Mac OS perform differently with solid state disks. While all of them work well with SSDs, as they write data more efficiently or run fewer applications in the background than XP, surprisingly Windows 2000 appears to be the winner when it comes to performance. However, no OS has yet been optimized to work with SSDs. This lost opportunity is one Microsoft plans to address with Windows 7; Apple, too, is likely to upgrade its platform soon for better SSD performance."

With all due respect, if you read TFA they're looking at desktop OSs. Solaris is about as much of a desktop OS as Cowboy Neal is a suave, socially gifted babe magnet - which is to say it's not in the least bit a desktop OS. While what you say is technically true, it's not what is being discussed. There is no desktop OS optimized for SSDs.
