Does anyone here even know what the fuck they're talking about? The challenge against Vista is a technical one (perhaps from a credible source), and we need to know the technical details in order to come down on one side or the other.
Broad allegations like, 'well, all OSes aren't optimized for SSDs,' or 'it doesn't matter to the OS--it's the job of the SATA controller,' are absolutely worthless without proof. This is not another thread where hearsay can pass for valid argument.
Did you guys just stumble in here by accident or what?
This is a tech forum. A lot of people here ARE experts: we work in the IT field with this sort of hardware/software interaction every day.
And since you are so worried about solid facts instead of 'hearsay', where is Mr. CEO's facts? He didn't provide any specifics, just throwing out vague allegations. Like others have said here, this smacks more of a red herring attempt to divert attention from his company's problematic products than any real, educated assessment of OS/hardware interaction backed by real evidence.
A lot of people are experts in the field, or (like me) wish to become one in the near future. It is very interesting to see which people are right and which are wrong in this sort of situation, because when someone is wrong, they will be debunked by someone who knows his stuff so fast that their keyboard will fry.
This kind of knowledge you can't learn from a classroom, as you are gleaning other people's experience as well as knowledge.
