I read a forum post where they compared different defrag tools for Vista, and they concluded that the Windows Vista version is the best. (using Vista defrag improved boot time and average read speed more than the others)
I know, I also hate the non-functional display... or lack of a percent indicator like XP.
How I miss the XP defrag window. :(
Sorry I don't remember the link. Just thought to post what I read.
O&O Defrag Professional Edition 10. Great program.

I am new to Vista home premium and I haven't been able to find out where the Vista defrag is. Anybody?

Are you running 64bit by any chance? Cuz Q&O also offers 64bit version.

click on Start, then Help and Support, then type in Defrag in the search box and then click on Start Disk Defragmenter

Agreed. The diskeeper service takes a crap everyonce and a while and it totaly borkes your system.
O&O on the other hand runs like a champ. AND it has boot time defrag which will defrag your windows sytem files

O&O x6 here. Been using it for two years now and I really like it. Still can't find what defrag profile works best though..

I use name. Should be good for loading windows and games considering the folders are generally groupled together.

correction:
Windows vista defragger is diskkeeper

Is there a comprehensive guide
COMPLETE Name VS COMPLETE Access VS SPACE VS STEALTH
in benchmarks?
