As country singer Terri Clark once sang, "you're easy on the eyes" and "you look so good." She also sang about heartache, but today I just want to focus on the beautiful and attractive part of the "easy on the eyes" definition. PerfectDisk 2008 was the complete makeover. Completely new look and feel, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, although admittedly some didn't like the change.
So it's not time for a makeover, but we can always try to improve our appearance and freshen up. Fine tune.
As Ed Miller says, "clearer and sharper." Or as Steven Lichtenburg calls it, a "cleaner interface." Gerald Steininger says it "looks more professional." Several have commented that it is, in fact, "easier on the eyes." Many like the newer graphics, with Stephen Smith going so far as to say "the GUI improvements alone are worth the upgrade."
Maybe that last statement is a stretch. But it didn't come from me.
Better underneath. Why not better to look at.
It's a Perfect 10. Coming soon.

Hi Amarjeet,
Thanks for your comment. You write that "Diskeeper is a lot faster..." We would ask "faster at what?" Maybe it is. But I would make sure you know what it has done. For example, did it completely defragment the drive? Did it completely consolidate free space. Did it get all that nasty NTFS metadata it conveniently doesn't report on? :)
As for Frag Shield, it sounds like a good idea, it's not really necessary. NTFS provides a mechanism to keep the $MFT from becoming fragmented. I wrote a little bit about it a couple of years ago (http://perfectdiskblog.typepad.com/perfectdisk_blog/2006/11/the_mft_no_arti.html), probably time for a new post on it.
In any event, glad you're excited for 10!
Thanks,
Joe

OMG can't wait to see it.
I just hope it's faster and more effective. Diskeeper is a lot faster of my computer.
But I like PD much better. But what I miss about Diskeeper is Frag Shield. You guys should have something like that. It really did stop my MFT fragmentation.
