A solid state drive or two will do this...

Ya but SSD's are still a little flakey, not all the kinks have been worked out, and they arn't as fast as they should be yet. Realistically they should be as fast as DDR2 or 3 since the technology is sort of the same!!!! (yes there are also major differences but I am not getting into it for less computer literate people) The cost is way way way too high for its speed when a $300, 300GB Velociraptor preforms almost identical to a $700 150GB SSD! The only advantage would be quieter computing.

Back to the topic: That means MS has 5.5 months to F it up! 7100 already has F'd up some games and apps that worked on previous builds. Go F'n Microsoft for messing up something that works. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
