    I contacted Tech Support. The disk that comes with the current package does no support Santa Rosa. However, you can download a beta version boot disk that will work.

    Maybe some handy info here for anyone thinking of getting it.

    From everything that I've read Mac OS really doesn't need to be defragged except in certain situations. Check out this link.
