we are probably running out of topic here, but for the record, there is also someone lamenting about ssd

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale.html

the underlying point is correct: SSD offer much less re-writes of the same "sector" than disk based

so, as far as developer machines are involved, you should go for OSes that use the disk efficiently and basically avoid windows (which I think is the OS that Jeff Atwood uses): one of my friend W7 keeps on reading/writing even when there is no application running, ageing the disk too fast imho
