Using the Windows XP defragger with Windows 2000?

With NTFS, I've read that the defragger that comes with Windows XP is better than the
defragger that comes with Windows 2000 (DFRGNTFS.EXE). Among other things, the WinXP
defragger defrags the MFT zone.

Has anyone ever moved a WinXP defragger to a Windows 2000 machine? Is it safe to do? Any
comments?

Thanks,

Bill.

Nope...because a third-party defragger such as Diskeeper is
the full version of the defraggers found in both Windows 2000
and Windows XP. And it also does a better job at defragging.

That doesn't answer my compatibility question, does it? And from the link I supplied,
the full version of Diskeeper is pretty much the SAME as the Windows XP defragger, isn't
it? For a single computer, the only differences between Diskeeper and the Windows XP
defragger is scheduling, right?
