"Mind boggling for the Non-tech minded!"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Quick install, works fast, colorful and clear sectioning of the hard drive visually.
Cons
Not understanding the sensitivities of my registry, what to keep, what will cause system failure if I delete made the colorful information far from valuable.
Summary
Anyone who clearly knows what programs are essential, which are just filling up space and have no real effect on computer can utilize this software. Being a computer/software user, not a technical hardware/coding person, this program was useless.

"Ancient machine, limited ram, seems okay, so far."
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Installed with little effort, ran without incident.
Cons
Lots of pretty colors, no time to really decipher them, yet.
Summary
Seems like a useful product, need more time to inspect what it did/does. At least it did not drag system into shock mode like some programs do. Someday when I grow up, I can have a "real" computer and then I will probably find this much more useful.

"Tool that I have been looking for"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Highly intuitive, good UI
Cons
Can take a while to analyze a large disk but that's to be expected.
Summary
Does exactly what it advertises; provides an easy-to-understand summary of disk usage in graphical form. A must if you need to manage limited disk space or understand how your disk space is allocated.

"Great visual tool"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
It provides a very appealing visual display of the contents of your hard disk.
Cons
No assessment of fragmentation. Using the Clean Up functions to delete files worries me.
Summary
I love the display. WinDirStat never pretended to be a defragmenter, but some display of frangmentation seems like a reasonable addition.
