free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the
creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
rights in the digital age are not frivolous."

When the subject has been brought up in the past and I've pointed out that
in the 21st century a modern filesystem should not need constant
defragging (as Linux and MAC don't) I'm assured by the experts that your
MS system does not need it either.

How so? Why does Vista have a defragger (a shitty one at that) if it
"does not need it" ?

JKDefrag (open source) has my vote. It works with all NT OSs.

The one that came in the box. You don't need any other, unless you are
particularly nerdish and like watching a meaningless array of coloured boxes
shuffling around.... <grin>

Seriously, the standard Vista one should be fine. There is no evidence
anywhere to suggest that you need anything more.

How so? Why does Vista have a built in defragger (a shitty one at that)
if it "does not need it" ?

JKDefrag (open source) has my vote. It works with all NT OSs.

If its a two-second job, I would agree. After two seconds, if it hasn't
indicated it is finished, then you could know it is time to get some help.
It is not typically a two-second job, and gives no indication of progress.
So you have no idea what might be a normal time the first time you run it or
when to get help. Lovely. Seems to me that progress indicators were
invented a long time ago for a reason, and they are only boring when you
know you don't need them. What do you think?
