Bear in mind that the defragger that comes with Windows is not as fully featured and is slower than the 3rd party ones you can buy.
I use PerfectDisk from Rasco, and have used the common Diskeeper too in the past.
I do agree that this is a must do maintenance job for PC. You can get a decent performance gain. It is surprising how badly a drive gets so fragmented even with loads of free space. Saving large files will nearly always be saved into different fragments over the drive which slow down the read speed and also make the drive do more work.
That reminds me I've not done mine for a while...and I'm on a laptop where it makes even more sense with the generally slower hard disks!
