This is one of the things I find really hard to get Windows users to
understand.  They just won't believe that a company like Microsoft would
still be using a filesystem that needs defragmenting if it were possible
to design one that didn't.  I often wonder why myself - after all, they
must have put a fair amount of work into NTFS, which at least doesn't
seem to get corrupted in a power failure.  Did they make a trade-off I
don't understand, or is it just incompetence - or worse, a deal with
disk manufacturers to sell more disk?
