I can't disagree really, as there are times when the Windows defrag really needs to give users more options to customize the way it works, so there is a time where 3rd party tools are very needed. But after that I would allow the native defrag to maintain the disks.
It's not disk defrag'rs that are a waste of time, it's the reg defrag and cleaner apps that are, and also can be system fatal in many cases. Anyone who DOeS use these cleaners better have a good understanding of what each hive is used for, and what kind of key strings are important because these things throw up false positives all the time and if users simply "trust" the app and delete whatever it flags, they're in for surprises.
