Its continued to be present in every Windows release since then, but disabled by default for server O/S's. As for someone enabling it across all their VMs, well let's hope their SAN isn't busy at 1am Wednesday's - because it's about to be brought to its knees! And then the storage admins are going to come looking for those pesky VMware admins... ;) The defrag task has been there since early builds of Vista and was originally set to run at Sunday 4am, but they moved it to Wednesday 1am based on feedback during the beta.
