No, that would be Diskeeper. The real version, not the puny "lite" version that comes bundled with Windows.

(I wonder how many people will opine on THIS one?-haha)

best defrag...O&O (http://www.oo-software.com/home/en/products/oodefrag/), NOT free. NOT cheap.

I will try out auslogics, though.

BTW, I tested Defraggler (http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download) on 5 different systems w/different setups and 4 different OS’s. In each case, it reported MORE fragmentation after defragging, than when it began.

A really neat set of utilities that is FREE is from KarenWare (http:/www.karenware.com) her “Power Tools” have been in my toolbox for many years, and they are great.

If you’re into graphics, especially as a n00b, I use GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) and PaintNet (http://www.getpaint.net/) for most everything.

Then, there is always the very useful OSSwin Project (http://osswin/sourceforge.net), and they have (maybe) thousands of free Windows software for the download.

SmoothText. It gives Windows 2000 text like ClearType in XP. It also skins Windows components.

I found a much better free defragger recently. MyDefrag is a successor of JKDefrag, and it is very flexible and customizable defrag program.

grep

vi

gcc

PHP

Perl

MySQL

Linux

combined with Sourceforge.net will get you everything you ever needed.


On a more practical note, many opensource projects are already packaged as binary executables, with installers, for unix platforms, Mac OS and Windows.

The GIMP is a fantastic program as a replacement for Photoshop, Open Solaris is a top-notch OS as a replacement for Linux, and OpenOffice (also from Sun) is a great replacement for MS Office.
