This is ridiculous. Why fragmentation in the first place? Maybe this white

Windows XP OS is really quite a crock

| Are there better ways to clean up and speed up a Windows XP? Sure,
| there are plenty of different techniques and options, but if
| Microsoft had some smarts, they'd build a lean-and-mean Vista

| the assorted crap that they've built in over the years.

Why Does Windows Get Slower Over Time?

,----[ Quote ]
| The natural impulse is to blame Windows itself. The phenomenon is so
| well known and widespread that some in the industry have even coined a
| term for it: "Windows rot." The idea is that, for lack of a specific
| cause, Windows just performs worse the longer you use it.
