edbro Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 If I am to continue using Windows I got to replace that poor excuse that Microsoft calls a Defregmenter. You need to get a defregulator. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491484-coming-soon-perfectdisk-8/page/2/#findComment-587838098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copernic Reporter Posted August 31, 2006 Author Reporter Share Posted August 31, 2006 Seems very ugly, the yellow things and even some icons reminds me of Norton software.

+.Aaron Subscriber¹ Posted August 31, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 31, 2006 They really need to ask people at Neowin on what the GUI should look like before releasing it. YUCK!

Arckon Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'm excited to see a new release of such a great program, however, I agree w/ the comments about the ugly interface! v7 looked very nice and professional while v8 looks like a copy of Norton software as someone else mentioned. They should have kept the look the same and just updated the feature set! They had such a great thing going w/ v7!

Quillz Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I don't think the UI looks that bad, to be honest. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491484-coming-soon-perfectdisk-8/page/2/#findComment-587839880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I was an official beta tester (now closed) and i must say PerfectDisk is nice, but i still prefer O&O Defrag Professional because it's easier in use and provides you many ways of Defragmentation which suits the hard-disk needs the best!

phantasmorph Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The UI looks much better than version 7, IMHO. Defragmenting seems to be much quicker as well.

Nozavi Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I might post some brand-new, home made screenshots of PD 8 later this day, because the quality of those posted until now is very poor in my opinion.

xpgeek Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 It does seem a little faster now. The new interface is ok, 7's was better, but its hardly ugly. It does run two constant background process's instead of one now tho, PDEngine.exe and PDAgent.exe.

Daedalus Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 MS dont make the defrag tool, they license a stripped down version of Diskeeper That's true for XP, but not for Vista.

Pallab Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) Updated to v8. This is the best defrag soft around. I noticed a significant increase in speed. It completes the task much faster now.

Copernic Reporter Posted September 2, 2006 Author Reporter Share Posted September 2, 2006 Still looks ugly, if will not be major improvements or huge bugs fixed in the 8.0 version personally i will stick with the good, old 7.0 :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491484-coming-soon-perfectdisk-8/page/2/#findComment-587843386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
