That was the original motivation

The software I was using didn't want to work on a disk with an error (probably quite correctly), thus the need for chkdsk. While I was doing this, I also ran defragmentation (hey, wait a minute, I thought NTFS would never need defragmentation and it was so shiny-perfect it would never need chkdsk and ....)

By time it's fully installed, Windows NT on NTFS needs defrag - painfully - and NTFS is very difficult to defrag. With 2000 you get a cut down version of a third party defrag program (except in Germany where Microsoft has to allow it to be removed because the Church of Scientology is legally considered a "dangerous cult" there).

The church is swamped with lawyers, so any time you offend the CoS, you're likely to end up in court for eternity. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

(even the pseudo-esoteric Secrut Lore is third-hand hints from P.D. Ouspensky and Woolworths Pep-meetings) But maybe when yer billing at $300/hr. - fast-food is all ya have time for.. Ashton Hmm.. maybe Scentology for those with delicate noses?
