I can remember it was in Windows Home Server 1.0, which was Microsoft’s 
failed attempt to compete with cheap NAS boxes running Linux. And then 
removed in 2.0, to the great unhappiness of the handful of users who 
wasted their money on the Microsoft product.

I thought a defragger was only introduced in Windows Vista. I remember 
because SSDs were just starting to become popular around then, and users 
discovered that Vista was shortening the life of their drives.

Windows 7 fixed the defragger to ignore SSDs.

The Linux folks fixed the problem just by designing their system to be 
more resistant to fragmentation in the first place.
