I am using PerfectDisk Pro 8.0, I was comparing it to Diskeeper 2007 Pro
Premier.
Sorry for any confusion.
I have only used it on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, can't say anything
about other versions.
Bob
P.S. The 3-pack is a great deal IMHO.

I'm confused. Subject says Perfect disk 8. Body talks mostly about
perfectdisk 7.
Raxcco's website has several products, and it is not really clear to me
what the differences are:
Perfectdisk 8
Perfectdisk suite (seemes dumbed down, but with addition of unrelated
products)
3-pack of Pro for $70
Does it work equaly well on Vista Home Basic as on XP Pro or Home?
Thanks for any info.
My slow $400 laptop with Vista Home Basic was immensely speeded up with
ATF-cleaner, which very, very efficiently removes temporary files.
