Windows Vista Defrag: dumbed-down interface

This is what you see on Windows Vista Ultimate (build 5381) when you start the Disk Defragmentation utility:
Like it or not, Windows Vista Ultimate or not, this is all you get. There's no progress bar, no indication of elapsed time, or remaining time. There's no information on how fragmented the disc is, what files are fragmented, or options to exclude some files from the defragmentation process.
I want to be in control, I want to know what and why and most importantly how long it will take to do it.
Please, at least bring back the Windows XP interface, or give me more information. I just want a progress indicator!
In the meantime, I've found Diskeeper to be a great solution.
UPDATE: Diskeeper has just released Diskeeper 2009... Recommended!
