Windows Vista Defragmentation Features
Although it is virtually handicapped in terms of the options it actually provides to the user in comparison to Windows XP, the hard disk defragmentation utility in Windows Vista is an evolution of the equivalent from the predecessor operating system.

Microsoft's vision with Disk Defragmenter in Vista was to introduce a tool that would perform its tasks automatically at intervals scheduled by default. In the end, the Redmond company aimed at delivering a tool that virtually takes the user out of the equation, automating the process entirely. On top of this, the new system memory management in Vista confines the defragmentation as a process with low priority designed not to impact the performance of the operating system.

"The defrag engine in Windows Vista does not affect the performance of other processes that are running on the computer. Other processes are not affected because defragmentation runs as a low priority process. And, defragmentation uses only minimal CPU resources and memory resources. If the system is using lots of CPU resources and memory resources, the defragmentation process may take a longer time to finish," Microsoft added.
