Cant wait for this to become cheaper and hit the mainstream.. Would be nice to put the entire Windows OS on one of these SSD's and have an instant on PC..

Harddrives are still going to be around for a LONG time, this kind of memory (technology) isn't going to be cheap.
Harddrives might be old, but they work and storage per megabyte is cheap.
