Microsoft Talk Windows 7 and SSD May 12th, 2009
Microsoft have just published a detailed post about Windows 7 and support for SSD storage technologies.
As a full time SSD owner/user (Laptop/Desktop) i am really pleased Windows 7 has some SSD specific considerations.
Once you go SSD you never want to go back.
The FAQ section covers

Is NTFS Compression of Files and Directories recommended on SSDs?
Does the Windows Search Indexer operate differently on SSDs?
Is Bitlocker’s encryption process optimized to work on SSDs?
Does Media Center do anything special when configured on SSDs?
Does Write Caching make sense on SSDs and does Windows 7 do anything special if an SSD supports write caching?

Should the pagefile be placed on SSDs?
Are there any concerns regarding the Hibernate file and SSDs?
