Just imagine now the loading time of any application that read or write from and to SSD.

Conclusion
There is a considerable speed advantage to using a Solid State Disk for running your Hyper-V virtual machines.
e-Sata still proved to be slightly faster than USB 3.
Surprisingly, USB 2 was not extremely slow compared to its USB 3 successor.
So we can see the benfit of the SSD on normal PCs and SSD with virtual machine and Hyper-V.
So I believe it really worth!
******** Update 11th January 2013 *********
It’s working now on Windows 8 RTM no need for any third party application.
******** End of Update *******************
I was stacked in how to open chm file on Windows 8, I read many posts about some registery option and disable UAC but nothing work 
So I start search for winhelp for Windows 8, but I couldn’t found it too
This maybe because I am working on Windows 8 CP and the other HDD has Windows 8 RP but it’s not stable on my Laptop (Dell XPS) specially with touch screen driver that still a beta with some error of course, so the following solution is just a temp for now, by the way if you want to have a look on Windows 8 on touch screen, see the this post
So finally I search for Ubuntu chm file so I found this wonderful application that makes me able to view chm file 
xCHM
After the Team Foundation Server Express 2012 RC lunch, I just want to try it and share this with the community as I always do, so in this video I will install TFS (Team Foundation Server Express 2012 RC ) on Windows 8 Release Preview, I will also install TFS Build Service 2012 RC on the same machine (Windows 8 Release Preview) and finally I will install Team Explorer 2012 RC and create a new team project so we can examine Team Web Access and how to see that it doesn’t support Backlog and Board feature, and of-course no SharePoint.
See the video here
