Defrag article: I am working on a defrag article that lists all the known defrag utilities, and provides a summary of each one. Clearly a list by itself is no good, so it needs a lot more work.

Here is the draft. Comment on it, edit it, but don't delete it without good reason. That goes for you too, SQL(Query Me!)

[edit] Windows Defrag Utilities

I will probably expand this to a full article at some point, but since it is such a mission to get through all the AfD red tape I'm inclined to wait. The updated this can be found on The Great Defrag Shootout, and includes a partial review of Defraggler from Pirisoft.
