I guess nobody has ever heard of MyDefrag...
http://www.mydefrag.com/
Check also the reviews, it's free, fast and you won't be looking back. Unless something better comes about.
Nonetheless, I will never compare a defragmentation program with the poor Windows equivalent.
My two cents, I may be wrong.
Can someone help me here?

P.S. Of course I was referring to hard disk defragmentation.
Forgot also to mention that if I don't mind the advertizing of new products, I still have to make an educated choice. And for that, one needs more than a PR spiel. What about comparative analysis?

*sarcasm* nope. absolutely nobody heard of mydefrag.
XP's builtin defrag was bad. Vista's better. Win7's even better. MS has a blog post in detail explaining Win7's defrag engine, how it works, what's different from previous version, etc etc.
Some programs might be better, but Win7's defrag is "good enough" to set it run and forget you ever had fragmentation problems. 3rd party tools have to invent all kinds of marketing terms and scenarios in order to scare you into buying their product.
Creating defrag benchmarks is a very complicated task. There is a huge number of various parameters to consider and decide what's important and what isn't.

@jfjb - If anyone does their due diligence, they may come to the same conclusion that I have, namely that MyDefrag is the best defrag software available anywhere! Positive reviews are numerous, and having used it for years (since before the name change), I have enough of my own anecdotal 'proof' to confirm that it's better than the rest. And free to boot!!!
