Amid complaints that Windows Vista is hurting the development of solid state drives, SanDisk now says it is working with Microsoft to optimize SSDs for "the Windows experience." But the company refused to provide details of Vista's problem, and Microsoft seemed unaware of the collaboration.
In a statement to BetaNews today, Richard Heyes, who heads up SanDisk's SSD Business Unit, didn't elaborate on the areas of optimization, although he did talk about SSD performance on "full-featured" operating systems such as Windows Vista vs. "simple" systems such as XP Starter Edition -- and he predicted that operating systems in general will become more "SSD aware" in the future.

"Harari criticized Microsoft's Vista for slowing down the progress -- and, in turn, adoption -- of SSDs". What a lame complaint. The very high cost of SSD's is what kept people from buying them. WD's Black SATA notebook drives perform very close to how the fastest SSD's under ideal conditions. With Vista WD Black drives scream. Black is the new Gold standard. Someday SSD will be, but not today.
