What does this have to do with Linux?

Anyway, to effectively utilize an SSD the TRIM command is recommended
to communicate information about empty pages to the SSD (a form of
garbage collection).

Linux supports TRIM on the Ext4 and Btrfs file systems and has done
so for a considerable time period.

Microsh*t Windows XP does not support TRIM, and later Microsh*t OS's
only support TRIM in a limited capacity.

So this thread, by being anti-Microsh*t, can be considered pro-Linux.
