I wouldn't be surprised to see computers with the OS and programs installed onto solid state memory within the next few years. Can't wait to see how fast OSX or Windows starts on a solid state drive. I don't think it will be like a light switch but it will be a lot faster. I think my XP system has about 20 Gigs worth of drive space dedicated to the OS and programs, so that would fit on a 32 gig drive!
