UltraDefrag runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7, including all 64 bit versions of Windows. NT 4.0 Alpha is currently not supported. ReactOS and Wine aren't supported yet, because they have no defragmentation API implemented at this moment.

UltraDefrag cannot be used on DOS, Windows 9x, Windows NT 3.51 and Mac OS since these operating systems provide no defragmentation API. However, Linux port of UltraDefrag exists. It is based on NTFS-3G capabilities.

Thanks for the share Sujay. My new PC has an SSD, but I can try this out on my old box, which still uses an "old fashioned" HDD.
