Conclusion

Other than the scripting, I found this program extremely useless for the average user, especially considering the robustness of the Task Manager, which suits most people’s needs just fine. Where this program might be useful, is in the professional sector, and even there, it’s quite expensive for what you get. On a final, note, I thought I’d mention the included documentation, which is better than I anticipated. As it is only a PDF, I was expecting an installation guide and that’s about it. I was rather impressed to see that things such as processes, dlls and threads were explained in detail, even though there were several grammar mistakes. It also includes screenshots and explains each part of the program one by one.

It would have been more interesting, had all features been supported under Windows 9x, since it lacks a program such as the Task Manager, and that’s probably why it doesn’t support those features. Somewhat of a catch-22, if you will.

Overall, for home users, don’t waste your money, especially not on the Professional version. There is a Standard version as well, and it is half the price, but it doesn’t include such features like logging and scripting, the only real unique feature of this product.
