Vista - no graphical defragmenter?

Bah Humbug, I want to see the pretty patterns :-/

I miss those rainbow colours too ;-)

I know in Vista the defrag is supposed to happen in the background
automatically, but it would be nice to be able to actually see the progress
if one initiates a manual defrag.

Agreed, or at least an approximation of percentage complete, so I know
whether it's going to take 2 minutes or two hours.

Yes I wanted to see a progress to see how long it takes and whether its
missing any parts like the XP one does.
There is something strangely relaxing about watching a moving defrag. LOL

Ah those Norton defrag patterns with moving blocks were the best!

Did they have integrated pong?

The O&O defragger retains the block move display.

Oh is that still around?
I used that about 5-6 years ago on win98 I think :-)

There's a version of O&O that works on Vista?

I don't know where they are on the beta, but you can check the website.
