Vista - Defragment/precompact Vista disk???

I was going to defragment the Vista Ultimate guest disk in preparation
to running the precompactor.
But I could not find the defragmenter where it usually resides in my
XP systems... I am new to Vista (only have it in my virtual
environment) so I might have overlooked something.
I used Administrative Tools/Computer Management as usual and intended
to then go to the Defragment item in the list, but it was not there.
Any ideas where it can be found?

Type defrag into the search bar in the start menu.

Strange, it seems to offer no view of the current state like the XP
defragger does (Analyze and show graphically the situation).
How can I see how bad my disk is fragmented?

Diskkeeper.
MS believes that the auto defrag in Vista requires no user overview or
intervention.
I've been using Diskkeeper for Vista, you still get the graphical
displays.

That's right.
Use another defragmentation solution...

Analysis report for volume C:

Volume size = 64.00 GB
Free space = 46.00 GB
Largest free space extent = 23.40 GB
Percent file fragmentation = 1 %

Note: On NTFS volumes, file fragments larger than 64MB are not
included in the fragmentation statistics

You do not need to defragment this volume.

What an improvement from XP!

That's right.
Also correct.
It certainly is! All of the graphical eye candy in XP added no value
whatsoever to the process of defragging, other than to waste processor
cycles...
