Resizing Windows Partition in Vista

I just resized my Windows (C:) partition in Vista. In the past (with XP) this would have involved downloading something like the Gparted live cd (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php), booting from that and resizing it there.

In Vista (not that I am a fan) you can do it all from windows with a couple of clicks:

1) Go to Computer Management (Start>Right click Computer>Manage)

2) Under Storage, click Disk Management. I then deleted the partition I didn't need anymore.

3) Right click the partition you want to resize and then click Extend or Shrink volume depending on what you want to do.

At least Vista got something right. Unless this kills your Windows. Backup first?
