CCleaner

Version: 2.02.527

Great Multifunction Cleaner

Pros: Does a great job of cleaning out all the junk that they listed in the description. Very easy to use but watch out if you don't know anything about your registry! And if you can't (or won't) learn, then let your kid do the maintenance on your computer. Don't complain to Download.com when you wipe out a vital registry entry!

All in all this little bugger does a great job. And I have never been asked to buy the full version. As far as I know this is it and always has been 'complete'. Not sure what a couple of people are talking about when they say they 'bought' the full version.

WindowBlinds

Version: 6.01

Well worth the 20 bucks!

Pros: After looking into Vista Transformation Pack, I got a little apprehensive of all the POSSIBLE problems it might cause, so I tried the free version of this little gem. Within a week I paid the $20! A little searching through the MANY available skins they have and I stumbled across Black Vista v3. In addition to a Vista BootSkin and LogonStudio (both are free) my system is indistinguishable from Vista Ultimate! It has even fooled my IT buddies.

I've come to trust Stardock's software and would definitely recommend WindowBlinds to anyone wanting to get the Vista look and feel without shelling out hundreds of dollars.

After almost a year, WindowBlinds has not caused ANY problems for me, and I don't even have a brand-new PC (circa 2005).

Windows Vista Home Premium upgrade

DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES

Pros: OK, first , my computer...?05 Gateway with an Athlon 2.4G dual-core, 2G RAM, 256MB video...so it's not that great a computer, OK? I upgraded the CPU, RAM, and video card, it came with XP Media Center. I waited to get Vista because all the complaints I heard about it; driver issues, incompatible programs, incompatible hardware, etc, etc. Well I went ahead and got Vista Home Premium. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have one question...WHY THE HELL DID I WAIT SO LONG??? During install, Vista found and installed all but 2 or 3 of my drivers, I went back and manually checked and everything was up to date except for the video card and wireless mouse. WHOOP-DE-FRIGGIN-DO!! So I simply clicked on update driver and BAM! it found them all by its self!! Imagine that! And as far as the old programs and incompatible hardware...no problems. NONE. The biggest complaint I have is with the mouse. In XP I had to search and search for an update to fix the wireless mouse/screen saver issue. It seems they included it with Vista, BUT, if it's been idle for a bit but before the screen saver kicks in then I grab the mouse there is a SMALL delay before the cursor moves. And if that's the biggest problem I have with Vista then fine by me! Oh, and that User Account Control is very annoying so I turned it off. No big deal.

My Vista experience: A great upgrade to an aging OS. they really put some thought into this, it sounds like they listened to what an end-user wants. A well laid-out, smooth-running OS. The search function is much better as well as the control panel layout. Disk defrag now includes a scheduler. The visuals are great too! Sidebar, eh, I could take it or leave it, doesn't use as many resources as I've heard other people complain about. And on that subject, yes it does use more resources, but we were WARNED that it would. Also, you can turn off features like Aero and the Search Indexer, the biggest resource hogs. But you know what? I paid for this RAM and I'm going to use it!!

Cons: My biggest problem with Vista is other people bashing it. It makes me wonder if these are the same people that can't figure out how to set up a firewall and then give it one star because they are stupid. Or maybe they're the ones that install a program and just click-click-click and then complain when they have five toolbars on their browser. GET VISTA!!!!!

Taskbar Shuffle

Version: 2.2

Where have you been all my life?

Pros: Found this little bugger almost two years ago and instantly fell in love! At work I have the taskbar set to four high and sometimes have up to 20 or 30 windows open at the same time (my record is 53!). This is not a FUN UTILITY, this is a MUST HAVE for anyone that has to have a lot of windows open at once. And no, I hate that stupid 'group similar items' option. When I need to have that many windows open I want to SEE what they are, not scroll through them!

And I have never had an issue with it checking for updates like the other two reviewers. Once or twice a month...maybe...I'll see it and d/l the update. Big deal! I WANT the most up-to-date version! And I like this latest one, now you can shuffle the startup tray icons as well!

Cons: NONE...don't change a thing!!!

MozBackup

Version: 1.4.7

very handy!

Pros: great little app! wish i had this years ago. did exactly what is says it should. and there was NOTHING misleading about this at all, it backs up your profiles just like it says it does. read what your downloading people! and if you *did* read the description and still think this is a backup program then you probably should not even be using a computer. if you doubt me, go read his other reviews.

Cons: haven't found one yet. and believe me i tried to force it to break but couldn't.
