   SSD, compile speeds, & default .NET developer installs

   Kirk just mailed around a link, “Dell XPS M1330 and SSD”, that’s interesting for a couple of reasons.

   1. I’m still looking at buying an XPS M1330 (it’s that vs the Macbook)
   2. I’m also thinking about what I want to install on this new laptop
   3. I’m contemplating the virtues of spending up LARGE and getting a SSD

   Default software install:

   So here’s Brad’s default software install list, for my future reference:

   • Microsoft Windows 2008 (I might yet go to the MS launch event coming up soon to get a copy of this for $150)
   • TestDriven.net
   • Refactor! Pro
   • DPack
   • GhostDoc
   • Brad’s dark Visual Studio theme
   • SQL Server 2005 (2008 would be included with the MS launch promo)
   • Office 2007 Enterprise

   SSD performance:

   Best to go read the post, but to quickly summarise SSD’s blow old HDD’s out of the water, with compile time improvements of 50% time reduction. Sweeet.
