Actually, on second thought my further research indicates that this memory has a finate and actually rather short life span in terms of rewrites. It probably wouldn't be a great place for swapfiles. Could still be sutable for the os/apps and hybernation files though.
Not only is it more reliable, but it also probably consumes much less power and probably has much faster access times. A hard drive has a head that has to be moved which adds significantly to access time and power consumption, and a disk that needs to be spun, also consuming power.
If the darn stuff were a magnitude or so cheaper it might help fill the memory gap. It would be cool to have 12 gigs of solid state memory for the OS and swapfile in a notebook computer. It would increase battery life, general perfomance, and decrease boot time (nearly instant hibernation).
92nd! What?
The competition must be pretty darn steep. I know that here many of the departments here at the University of Washington run wireless networks in their buildings, the libraries all have public wireless and many of the large outside public areas (HUB Lawn, Engeneering Quad, Central Plaza) as well.
I make good use of the wireless... it lets me read/. during class.
The "integrated features" from the trial were windows componants if my memory serves.
Among them were Internet Explorer (which is quite nicely integrated), Media Player and Windows Messenger.

You have been able to get fiber to your home in Eastern Washington for a while now.
No, if you want the kitchen sink then you need Mozilla
