   @dhry: If you have bought a license, you'll get all future updates for free (until further notice). Therefore the price of 26 EUR (or 38 US $) is OK, especially in comparison to expensive Directory Opus which costs 50 EUR and a version upgrade for instance 35 EUR. Moreover one license for DOpus only allows you to use it on two machines. Is Directory Opus an anti-virus SW?
   
   Total Commander is that application which I cannot live without: precise, fast, best keyboard support.

   I have tryed many other file manager, but TC is what I know and feel home *Don't do that whit the other file manager*.. When I started to play whit computer it was back in 94-95, and dos 6.22/win3.11 + NC (Norton Commander), and NC have always followed me where ever I go until TC (old WC -Windows Commander) came allong, so to me TC is the best..

   I have tried this program several times over the years based on people gibbering about how good it is. I'm sorry, but I just do NOT see it at all. Primitive feel to it and it just reminds me too much of Windows 3.1. And hell, I'm pretty old school myself. I'll give it three. Have to agree with a previous reviewer - Directory Opus 9 for Windows absolutely blows this thing out of the water. No other file manager even comes close to Opus. Then again, it's ridiculously expensive by comparison. I suppose you get what you pay for. Xplorer2's better than this guy if we're talking same-ballpark registration fee, and the latter has a free version too.

   The current beta version is already more stable than any competing product and it demands less from your system resources than other file handlers.
   
   Total Commander is the one utility that has survived my long experience with Windows (experience that goes back to version 1.0, before even "Windows Commander"). It is supremely stable; it does what it says it does and has almost no unwanted side-effects. If Windows itself (in any version) had equal reliability, maybe I'd still be using Windows.
   
   Nowadays I'm migrating to Linux; my only regret is the loss of Total Commander. But with Linux I get an operating system that has the supreme feature: when you use Linux, you can concentrate on your work, not on the operating system. Much the same can be said for Total Commander.
   
   As for looks, I guess when someone chooses a file handler on the basis of styling, it's just another proof that P T Barnum was right. ("There's a sucker born every minute.")

   Total Commander has always been the Directory Opus 4 of the PC (Amiga users should know what I'm talking about). It's still a fine program, but there are more powerful alternatives nowadays, like... Directory Opus 9 for Windows.
