Ha!

You sure can 'read' a lot more into a message than what was intended.

Your perceptions about what I posted say much more about 'you' than it does
about me.

So defrag never changed from Win98 up until Vista? What a shill you are

Exactly where did you see me say this?

You implied this ... ( reader can go back and read/judge for himself what
Ronnie snipped out).

Your definition of a shill is probably "someone who says something that I
don't agree with."

At least have the intelluctual honesty to admit it was just a
judgement call by MS. Maybe Microsoft decided to just let users
buy/support the third-party market for defrag if they wanted some anime.

It was not a 'judgement call', it was in response to people who actually
use the operating system, and who don't want to be bothered with mundane
maintenance processes that take up time and resources.

The links you provide below have some really great technical insights into
Vista's defrag. And value-judgement reasons for changes.

Microsoft listening to users? MS does whatever it damn well pleases.
With monstrous hard-drive capacities appearing everywhere -- sure, a new
defrag implementation is a must. So finally MS and (some?) Windows users
are in sync about something. Don't break your arm patting yourself & MS
on the back, Ronnie. :~)


What part of a 'low priority 'background process' do you not understand?

( you're sounding SHRILL on this reply )

What part of a completely new defrag algorithm do you not understand?

( darn ... you sure can get SHRILL ) /// Net blue
