> "Those new hybrid hard drives can make this super fast."
- Vista RTM'd - 8th November 2006

... and the wikipedia page he links from the blog post about hybrid drives says "In 2007, Seagate and Samsung introduced the first hybrid drives".
I don't think making UI decisions based on hardware unreleased at the time is really the right way to do it.
(The same wikipedia page also lists those early hybrid drives as "featuring 128 MB or 256 MB NAND flash memory options" and given that Vista required 512mb and recommended 1gb, I don't even think that they would have helped that much as most of the ram would still need to be written to the spinner platter part of the disk anyway)
