Samsung and Microsoft to "flash" hard drives

Joris Evers (IDG News Service) writes in InfoWorld that:

"Samsung Electronics on Monday plans to show a prototype hard-disk drive that includes flash memory, promising lower power usage and less hard disk drive trouble for laptop users. The Hybrid Hard Drive, developed by Samsung and Microsoft, is meant for mobile PCs running Longhorn, the next version of the Windows operating system."

This sounds really cool -- forget about Longhorn -- where can I get one now? The article goes on to say that "With 64-bit technology, Longhorn can support up to 128GB of main memory," leading one to believe that Longhorn is a massive hog.
