As seems to be so common in the audio world, we have yet another example of someone who knows a lot about audio hardware, and very little about computers, making silly, unfounded proclamations about computer hardware.Most of the writing that is being done by an operating system is for the pagefile and logs and caches. If you put the pagefile on a different drive (or disable it altogether) that will solve the biggest problem, then disable as much logging as possible and this issue that is caused by too much writing won't be a problem for most users. Also, be sure to not use a disk defragmenter on an SSD (or internet caches and that type of thing...configure your browser to put these files elsewhere).
I'm told that Windows 7 is more "SSD aware" than previous versions of Windows and will minimize writes to the SSD drives, by the way.
Here is an excellent guide to setting up your Windows system for an SSD from drive-maker OCZ (written for Windows Vista, by the way...much of this may be unnecessary with Windows 7):
