  "just enough upgrade to run on vista"

  by Myhrddin on November 27, 2009

  Pros: ... not any new goods
  I'd say the dual pane feature but, it tends to forget to keep the tree pane scrolled to the folder you're looking at

  Cons: It seems they only did enough so it'd work on Vista. Version 6pro worked fine but somehow 7pro falls flat. The last time I started it up it refused to run saying the serial number was invalid. Unless they really upgrade it, this should be freeware.!

  Summary: I'm sorry I paid for the upgrade.
  But, I have now found another freeware dual-pane q dir that even does ftp. *shrug*

  "Started strong- ended weak"

  by greenfrogs on November 18, 2009

  Pros: 2 panes- love that- nice features of converting to Adobe, converting pictures, sync features

  Cons: It was a CPU hog- it started to error my system. I can't seem to get rid of it- it still shows up in menus. Not sure how to dump it.

  Summary: It started strong and ended weak. I can't recommend this to anyone. Xplorer2 is a nice substitute.

  "A once great file manager sadly showing its age."

  by ruraltexan55 on November 15, 2009

  Pros: Dual pane windows, excellent search tool, highly modifiable tool bar and launch bar. The file viewer is very important in my work. I also liked the Sync function.

  Cons: They haven't kept up with the times. The file viewer got worse in the change from ver. 4 thru 7. They do not support 64 bit O/S's and there is no support for Win 7. The times I tried to use tech support I received short FAQ quality answers.

  Summary: From my correspondence with Avanquest I get the impression that they see PowerDesk as a cash cow and give it inadequate engineering support. I was using PD on Win XP, migrated to Vista and then to Win 7. I experienced situations where when working... read more >>

  "Poor upgrade policy."

  by yuedavide on August 8, 2009

  Pros: Loved it since version 4. Upgraded to 6.0.4.2 and still like it, however...

  Cons: Their upgrade policy (claims that 7 is NOT an upgrade, but a totally new product) and is priced at full retail. NO WAY!
