Since the "Defend Roy at all costs, no matter how much he lies" or the
"Object to anything Erik says no matter if he is right or not" patrols will
quickly come to Roy's defense I will point out explicitly the ways Roy has
lied here:
1) Nowhere in the article does it claim that Vista can not automatically
defrag it's drives. Roy made this up. Completely.
2) Vista does in fact automatically defrag it's drives. The defrag
process, by default, runs after installation, and then, again by default is
set to run at 4am every sunday. This is the default configuration. If you
don't believe me, read this:

3) This is not a mistake. He made this comment up, with absolutely no
support from the article. He had to KNOW he was lying.
