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."

What? Don't you know that Microsoft invented multitasking with Windows XP? Linux and Windows 2000 are incapable of running background processes.

That's because Mac users are non technical and open their files by name rather than cluster number. If you do that then defragmenting doesn't break anything.
