It's Windows Vista's fault that solid-state storage isn't performing as well as its proponents predicted.

SSDs are viewed as the heir apparent to the hard disk, particularly for laptops and other mobile computers. SSDs are way more shock-resistant and consume less power. Theoretically, they should deliver better performance.

Alas, many tests reveal that they don't. SSD "performance in the Vista environment falls short of what the market really needs", admitted Harari at the company's earnings conference this week.

Yes, I agree. Maybe they should take a look at their own product than just jumping to conclusions and blaming Microsoft. And, am I right in thinking that it is their job to ensure it is compatible with the OS, not the other way round?
