I think Microsoft should patent the requirement to defragment a hard
disk. As far as I know, no other OS saves to disk in such an
arbitrarily wasteful fashion. Every HDD I've ever had to defrag has
belonged to a Windows system. The need to defrag is perhaps
Microsoft's unchallenged contribution to the science of inefficiency.
