Whatever happened to the Windows USB RAM boost?

[John Doe]

Anybody ever used it? What did it do for you?

Did Microsoft drop it?

Partly curious, thanks.

Just an opinion off the cuff-
It's too slow for many of today's systems and uses.
Systems with Gigs of high speed RAM don't really benefit
from USB RAM Boost.

It still exists. However, it's somewhat pointless since RAM is so much
cheaper today, SSDs are cheap and negate the need to use flash as a
cache, and Windows itself is so much lighter weight than Vista.
