I am running Windows 7 on a SSD right now. While most of the author's points aren't based on the assertion that this is impossible, such a poorly researched argument makes it hard to take the rest of the article seriously.
- whughes 17y agoWhat is the size of the SSD? If it's a desktop-sized (60GB+) SSD, then I don't think it applies; the author's argument is that it won't fit on the tiny netbook SSDs. Obviously, within a little while that will be wrong as well.
- jsz0 17y agoI agree. I think he's probably talking about this: According to Microsoft: "When running on a solid-state drive (SSD), Windows® 7 requires a minimum of 16 gigabytes (GB) of space. Although some configurations of Windows 7 may appear to fit on smaller drives when initially installed, 8 GB SSDs are not sufficient for deploying Windows 7."
