Doesn't cost me money with another filesystem. In particular, I can
resize reiserfs (v3) for no cost (resize_reiserfs), meaning that
repartitioning/reformatting is slow, but requires no extra hardware.
Shrink fs, shrink partition, grow new partition, copy files, rinse,
repeat. Probably difficult for drive more than 50% full. Parted seems
to support this for quite a few filesystems, actually.

I was talking about perception. People already have Windows, therefore
they already have Windows Defrag. It's "free" in the sense that
Internet Explorer is "free". Imagine how little Firefox's market share
would be if it cost money. Notice how they can afford a full-page ad in
the New York Times. Not that it's infallible, just that I don't see a
better business plan right now, biased as I am (I'm an end-user).
