Putting Vista in the fast lane | CNET News.com: "Vista will automatically de-fragment hard disks, make better use of memory to more quickly load programs, and include a new performance control panel that will identify performance bottlenecks, according to the company."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft has been touting Windows's ability to auto-defrag and reorganize programs to get faster runs out of them since Windows 98. Either my memory is fuzzy, or they didn't get it right then, so what guarantee do we have they got it right this time? As near as I can tell, the only new feature in this featureset is the bottleneck identifier, which I hope to Hell they actually call "Microsoft Bottleneck Manager". I imagine it's going to be almost but not completely unlike Sysinternal's own Process Explorer.
