    I just found out about this app and tried it.

    First - FIFTY BUCKS??? Are you Kidding Me???

    That is WAY too much money for such an app. Not only that, it really doesn't offer anything that you don't already get somewhere else for a lot less. Free even! My goodness, what a rip off.

    Yes, it does seem to work, but it is a bad value. I think a score of 2 is warranted. Not bad enough to get a 1, cause it really does run fine and do the job. It's just - $50 bucks??? Wow...

    Buy the "Big Book of Windows Hacks" by Preston Gralla, O'Reilly Publishing. (available at Amazon)

    Use the book to do what this program does without buying just a pretty GUI.
    The book lists plenty of free programs to help you and XP and Vista are both covered in it.

    I used WinOptimizer before and the suggested changes weren't helpful. The book is helpful.

    I don't believe in such proggies. There are tons of free progs and tweaking tips & hints websites that do the same as AWO

    I have no arguements with those good reviews. However I have this product, and don't quite think highly of it, like those others who gave this a high rating.

    Thing I don't like bout this program, is that i have it set-up in a certain way. This program messes with my settings when I use it to clean my PC.
