    No defrag needed!

    You really wonder when defrag states that no defrag is necesary and it looks like this
    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

    I've NEVER seen the XP defragmenter recommend defragging!

    I liked the appearance of the Win9x defrag better. Hypnotic to watch.

      I have never ever seen any version of defrag recomend a defrag

        in win2k it has.
        but only when there is enough free space.
        there has to be at least 12%.
        also, it likes a large chunk of free space as swap space. your drive is very fragmented.
        defrag once or twice. should clean up the job.

          I personally can't stand the XP defrag, or its big brother Disk Keeper.

          Why?

          Two reasons.

          1. Made by Scientologists. This in and of itself is compelling reason. Scientologists are strange, frightening, and quite possibly dangerous. Germany and France jail them out of principle, and I avoid them if at all possible.

          2. Utterly incomprehensible. What do those bars and lines and colors MEAN? The old style block display, while quaint and perhaps antiquated, conveyed a world of meaning. Look - blocks of data, representing chunks of hard drive. That chunk there is solid blue - nice contiguous data. THAT chunk is red... badly fragmented. THAT chunk is orange - swap file. But on the display Technoid showed us, you see lines. They mean nothing, convey nothing, and even when the drive is 100% defragmented they're still all jumbled up and make no sense.

          I'm the least you could do, oh yeah

          I would still get screwed

              While I agree about scientologists, it is not true that they are jailed out of principle in germany. No one here in germany gets jailed out of principle, cant imagine where you heard that.

              I too, liked the win 98/ME defrag program much better, for win XP I use PerfektDisk2000 from Raxco

                Everyone gets jailed out of principle in France.
                Especially if you are not obviously french.......

                Scientologists are considered a sect here. They found a way to take them to court, and won.

                edit: at least, last i heard the govt won.

                  Try O&O defrag. That has a nice block display

                    I love O&O. The only thing I wish is that, like Disk Keeper, it would REPLACE the built-in defrag in the MMC. But that's a really minor quibble. Otherwise it's just a godsend.

                    As for jailing Scientologists in Germany - they get jailed if they try to recruit anyone.

                          Well it does, doesn´t it? I use the freeware version (O&O2000)
                          and it unistalls the built in defragger in XP and saves it as backup in case you choose to uninstall O&O.
                          Or did you mean something else?
