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."

    Linux is the Operating System... I repeat, the Linux Kernel is the Operating System. Not because the OS is called as "Linux" but because the Linux kernel is monolith kernel and not microkernel.

    Linux operating system does not include any parts on userland mode. Do not mistake that to developing platform called GNU/Linux or complete software system what are called distributions. All Linux-distributions includes Linux operating system and different set of applications, from what some are services called daemons and some are just systemtools and some normal desktop applications etc.

    When you talk about Linux Operating System, you talk the Linux kernel... and not about something else with it. What ever you run with Linux, is not part of Operating System. If Linux would be a microkernel, then the case would be different because microkernel is not alone an Operating System but a kernel. So do not fall to marketing propaganda that the software system what you get on Ubuntu disk etc, is the complete Operating System. You get graphical operating system if you have possible to get a software what draws a GUI.

    The difference is that Linux OS runs as monolith in one virtualaddress while Microkernel structured operating system runs protected processes between microkernel and OS servers in userland. You can move those OS servers to kernel space, still them being separated from the kernel itself. Then you just get a so called "Hybrid kernel" what is marketing too, because the kernel is still microkernel and OS structure is still such and not monolith.

    There is no word "*that*" in the English Language.

    Consider changing your last sentence to not contain run-on fragments.

    If you are going to get anal retentive, then prepare for warfare.
