Hey everyone! Just wanted you all to know that I am progressing well with my results and should hopefully have them out next week sometime. I'm trying to make the information as detailed and thorough as possible. It will also be unbiased; no favoritism whatsoever.

Do you have an update on those test results we're all eagerly waiting for? :D

It's been on the back burner for the last week. Work, fiancee and illness are in the way right now, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. I'm working on it today.

Another vote for Diskeeper 2007 pro. Until a month or so ago, I was using a cocktail of various defraggers' trial versions. But I finally settled for DK for various reasons but the real clincher was its auto mode.

I really like the automatic defrag-in-the-background mode and it does an excellent job of keeping both my drives defragged. Totally removes the need for scheduling manual defrags- I've not had to run a single manual job after switching to DK. I was initially skeptical , but invisitasking does work very well. I would need a really compelling reason to abandon DK pro now, and I can't see any other defragger offering such a reason as of now.

after awhile i always switch between perfectdisk and diskeeper because i can never decide what one to use,the thing i do like about diskeeper is it defrags automaticaly without bothering me wheras with perfectdisk you need to schedule it but a plus for pd is that it has the best boot defrag and needs as little as 5% free space to do it's thing but with dk it seems like i need like 20% or more,can someone correct me if i am wrong?also with dk it seemed i only needed to do 1 boot defrag then let it do it's thing,my drives are usualy quite full and after awhile i do back stuff up to free up some space,i always read articles that pd is the better of the 2 and what dk says is true too but... but also on some systems dk wont work but on all systems pd works fine.need help with it.

I have some more testing to do, and then fix all the validation errors in the HTML file and it will be available.

so what's the status and are there going to be any further delays?

this is the second or third time it's been delayed and we've yet to see anything (and it's been a month since you last posted...)

It's called life. New versions of defragmenters, and even a new defragmenter showed up. Sometimes I'm motivated and sometimes I'm not. I'm getting married on August 11th.

It will be finished when it is finished. Want something sooner? Do your own testing.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I allways used the WXP original defragmenter and I like it shows the graph. But now I miss the graph in Windows Vista so I would like to find such a defragmenter which works perfectly in Vista at the first point and second it should show the disk usage graph. Is there any?

      Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

      Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
