I second that statement. I have read the print version of
the article, and frankly in my view, it doesn't really offer
anything spectacular. And as you also rightly point out,
accessibility is at best suspect.
Windows defrag is not the best, pretty well all of us know
that. But it does work.
I think also that Computer Active is perhaps taking a bit of
an editorial liberty in saying, "O&O Diskimage provides the
essential backup program that is missing from Windows XP".
Windows XP does have a backup program, it's just that
Microsoft decided not to install it my default in XP Home.
They also don't quite make clear the difference between
making a disk drive image, and a selective backup. If you
take an image of a complete drive, and three weeks later
restore that image, your system is quite literally put back
as it was three weeks ago.
Finally, I'm general a shade cautious about totally free
utilities like these. Perhaps it's the businessman in me
coming out, but I always wonder why, if they are do good,
they are free?
But then, I'm just an old cynic.
George.

well personally i'd advise you not to touch it. i just tried
the defrag
program and it isn't jaws friendly and looks to have a lot
of adds etc in it
plus it just sent my raptor hard drive nuts. taken it off
again.
