    What makes one better than the other?

    I have no qualms about shutting down Kazaa, booting into safe mode, so nothing loads, and running the best disk defragmenter if it will take 9 hours, I don't give a fuck. I'll sleep that long. If it only took 2 hours, it might not be doing as good a job (unless someone can tell me for sure differently) and it doesn't matter because I can't reboot in normal mode and get my Kazaa fileserver back up until I wake up anyway.

    So what's the best disk defragmenter. I'm looking for power and performance. Speed's not an issue.

    I've just been using the one with Windoze but experience has taught me that Microsoft doesn't always make the best product. Like Notepad... EditPadLite blows it out of the water.

    O&O sucks shit. Don't waste your time on it. The built in Executive Software defragmenter handles files that O&O won't touch. Don't be fooled by the fancy integration into the windows computer management gui. The claims it makes about the way it reorganises files are highly suspect. Exectuve and others will find a lot of problems it leaves behind when it actually does anything. The pre- startup defrag in O&O is crap too.
    Nothing to defragment? What's all that red that executive cleans up after windows starts then? Bullshit!

    More snakeoil.

    hmm.

    nice to hear a negative review too.
    Anyway, I finally got O&O, but haven't installed it yet. I've used several defragmentation programs in the past, but since my last
    re-creation of this PC, I've stuck to just the one in Windows. Seems to work just fine for me.
