Diskeeper Blog: Welcome to the Diskeeper Blog

This blog will provide technical data and insights into performance and reliability issues surrounding file system performance. We hope to cover all topics related to system performance including defrag whether you are running SANs, NAS, workstations, servers, SSD's or other systems. We will provide interesting anecdotes, white papers, and related story topics on defragmentation and other performance issues. The blog is intended to be personal rather than a formal Diskeeper website. You will read personal viewpoints on our products and where we see the industry and our company going. We are excited to have this opportunity to share our product knowledge and insight, and hope this information helps you. We encourage your comments and look forward to you following this blog.

Vista RTM and Diskeeper

by Michael 9. November 2006 13:32
If you're reading this blog, chances are you've already heard that Vista is code complete. The RTM (release to manufacturing) version has already been delivered to select Microsoft customers as well as OEM manufacturers that build PCs. I talked with some Microsoft enterprise license customers (e.g. 40,000+ clients) who also run Diskeeper on all their desktops, and they are already building system images to roll out Vista. They are all very anxious to get a Diskeeper that runs on the Vista RTM code. Our OEM partners are also eager to get Diskeeper for their new PC images (Lenovo, Sony, etc...). As we have already been informing our enterprise customers, we are about a week or two away from offering a private field test version of a Diskeeper 2007 build that will run on the Vista RTM version. Starting earlier this year we offered a public field test build of Diskeeper 10. That Diskeeper beta product will continue to be available for a short while longer on our downloads page. A key reason why we don't have a beta for RC2 is that we discovered some minor bugs in Vista (RC2) that affect some advanced Diskeeper features. We reported these to Microsoft, and they have fixed them in the RTM version. If you have the RTM version of Vista , you can participate in our private field test. Email our team at FieldTest@diskeeper.com with a quick note you'd like to test and that you have the Vista RTM build available to test on. If you are Diskeeper 2007 customer (just purchased or have a software assurance agreement), the update to Diskeeper 2007 that supports Vista will be free. More to come on how to get that will be emailed to you in the coming weeks. We're also targeting to have trialware available for Vista later this month on our website, possibly extending into early December.
