Vista Defrag = Graphical and % frag, % complete display?

Is there any way to get Vista to get a graphical display of disk
defragmentation along with information about % fragmented and % done
as it proceeds as we had in earlier versions of Windows?

Or has MS decided that this is just too much information for us to
handle?

Nope.

Yep.

You could use Ubuntu that doesn't need to be defragmented.

XP's defrag isn't just colors. It also provides useful information.

Yes indeed! Purchase and install PerfectDisk 2008.

But if you use Ubuntu your productivity will go down to ZERO because Ubuntu
is not compatable with Microsoft applications which you have if you have
Vista. So if you had a wild idea to use Ubuntu, you will be wasting all
your time.

Ubuntu is for geeks who want to play around with their computers.

Another idiot with an ill informed opinion.

It's a "progress bar", so it's more like that I wish to know the painter's
progress whenever I walk into the room, and if there is anything wrong if
the progress has been "stopped" for some time.

You and people who like to use this defense logic may try to educate
software writers around the world to abandon using progress bar and hardware
makers to stop using blinking light and beeping sound as they all serve
similar purposes for showing progress and warning something is going wrong.

Also, Vista is a GUI-based operating system and GUI stands for Graphic User
Interface.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You use Ubuntu. My opinion is correct in
this instance. Yours is ill informed.

Use Auslogics Defrag and save yourself time and hassle. I've never even
had Vista successfully finish a defrag...I stop it after several hours.
Auslogics finishes in about 30 minutes for me AND lets you see the
progress. I can't recall right now if it shows any percentages.
