Version: BootIt Next Generation 1.73
Pros: A 3-in-1 utility (partitioning, imaging and multiboot manager).I used the trial version on my Dell bitburner (Dimension 5000).I tried partitioning, imageing, restoring, reseizing, copying of a whole partition, burning image directly to DVD and played with multibooting. All went flawlessly. This is a veeeery reliable tool. I bought this product after using it a couple of days of intensive experimenting. The price is a steal.
Cons: The only negative thing I could find till now is the users manual: it?s not clear and confusing. Although english is not my mother tongue, I noticed that some other (english speaking) users feel the same. My advice to those who want to try/buy this gem is to go to the Terabyte site (which is very good) and then to the support site of this product and select the video?s of this product the company has put there. Also (on the same page) the Hefly?s help page that contains vids showing for e.g how to partition, restore etc. One vid tells you more than x number pages of written manual. This is an easy way of grasping the concept of this program. You will notice the program is not difficult at all. After having looked at the vids the manual will be readable in most cases. By taking this order (vids, manual) you are decreasing the chance of turning your back at this program (what I almost did) because you might think that this program is for geeks and too difficult for you. It is not.

"Better and cheaper than its rivals."
Pros: This inexpensive program will manage your partitions, make backup images and allow you to choose into which OS you will boot. I have found it to work when Partition Magic says the hard disc has bad sectors which prevent PM from doing its job.
Cons: The program takes a while to learn- it has what is now called a "steep learning curve".

Version: BootIt Next Generation 1.73
Pros: Works well on my Dell laptop and Dell desktop enabling booting in my case of XP 95 and Ubuntu Linux. Also successfully created resized, moved and deleted the partitions.
Cons: Dual Booting is hard for a lay user to understand. The manual is quite good, but some of the knowledge base should be in the manual (eg about Linux loaders). And the manual should have more guidance about choices. I found not much understandable help about dual booting aimed at non geeks on the web either, so casual users should perhaps avoid trying it. For confident or knowledgeable users, BootIt NG is first rate.
