Right, i've been thinking about this for a while: Why are consoles so much faster than PC's spec for spec? Well, theyre faster because theyre dedicated, and theyre dedicated because they only run the game.

Why doesn't Winnt4 come with a defrag Utility

Is Winnt4 meant to have a default defrag utility? It seems everywhere on the net i search there is a third party program called disk keeper that needs t be bought. Why doesn't the OS come with all neccessary system tools? I have installed Original WinNT (no service packs) And i have applied sp6.
