Most useful Windows programs of 2008

Smart Defrag
Smart Defrag is another excellent program that left its beta training wheels behind in 2008. Yes, there are a lot of defraggers out there. Some are free, some are trialware. Smart Defrag stands out for two reasons.

It has the quick analysis and scan times that are required to be competitive in the field. Alongside those, it boasts an automated defragger that continually defrags the files that you use the most, and does it without becoming a persistent drag on your system resources.

The program eats up a small amount of RAM when running in the background, so it's possible to run it smoothly on older machines. Throw in a scheduler you can set up to defrag whenever you want, and some customization features like running a defrag when you boot up or shutdown Windows, and Smart Defrag makes a great tool for users of all experience levels.
