Well, the build-in version of the Defrag program is a really a shill. But that's |
| 15 |
mostly b/c Microsoft is licensing a stripped down version of a really good piece |
| 16 |
of software called "Disk Keeper" (http://www.diskeeper.com/). While it's not |
| 17 |
free, open source, etc. the price is worth it to keep a Windows system in check |
| 18 |
and running smoothly. |
