Windows 7 will not help SSD sales much, say notebook vendors
Windows 7's support for SSDs will not do much to boost sales because the price gap with HDDs is still too high, according to sources at notebook vendors.

Since current SSDs are priced around US$4-5 per GB, while HDDs cost less than US$0.50 per GB, the sources expect SSDs are unlikely to become the mainstream specification for at least three years, even though Windows 7 will include several optimizations specifically targeted at SSD-equipped systems.
