Raxco Software, the leader in disk defragmentation (http://www.raxco.com/) software, today announced the latest release of its award-winning PerfectDisk 2008 (http://www.raxco.com/enterprise/ente...ofessional.cfm) disk defragmentation utility, along with new components that together comprise a complete and flexible performance and storage management solution for enterprises, small business and home offices. With this release, Raxco continues its tradition of leading the industry in productivity-enhancing defragmentation and performance solutions, including industry-first solutions for VMware (http://www.vmware.com/) Workstation and VMware Server environments.

With a wealth of new and expanded features specifically requested by users, along with the new VMware offerings, the release of the PerfectDisk 2008 family represents the broadest and most comprehensive offering ever by a disk defragmentation provider. Users can now ensure maximum performance and availability across their Windows environments - PCs and laptops, servers, VMware workstations and servers, Exchange servers and even Windows Home Server systems.

"The vastly improved user interface with PerfectDisk 2008 makes an already easy-to-use product a real pleasure to work with," said Russ Howard, Systems/Programmer III at the University of Pittsburgh. "That, along with several additional and valuable enhancements such as new reports, selected files defrag and Space Explorer makes an already outstanding product even better - Raxco Software has raised the bar again."

The PerfectDisk 2008 family is in direct response to our millions of worldwide enterprise, small business and home users, and represents our biggest leap forward in our thirty-year history," said Bob Nolan, president and CEO of Raxco Software. "Not only have we made significant performance, usability and feature enhancements to our core PerfectDisk products, but with the addition of PerfectDisk for VMware, we've addressed another huge hole in the virtualization (http://www.vmware.com/) performance arena. The world spoke, we listened, and we've delivered breakthrough solutions once again."

The PerfectDisk family of products is available immediately via the Raxco Software web site at www.raxco.com as well as favorite resellers everywhere. PerfectDisk 2008 Professional pricing starts at $39.99 for a single license, while a single license of PerfectDisk 2008 Server starts at $99.99 and PerfectDisk 2008 for Exchange is priced at $399.99 per Exchange server. PerfectDisk 2008 for VMware Workstation pricing starts at $99.99 per physical workstation and PerfectDisk 2008 for VMware Server pricing starts at $199.99 per server. PerfectDisk 2008 for Windows Home Server is priced at $39.99 for a single license and $99.99 for a home site license.

I've always preferred the capabilities of PerfectDisk to those of the competitors, such as Diskeeper, as well as it's much more reasonable price tag. I was holding out on buying PerfectDisk 7 (as it's been out for quite some time and I expected a new release soon). It's finally here, although not as soon as I had expected.

Im pretty sure I ordered the upgrade and support when I purchased v8.0 (It says support on my receipt, but the only option when you purchase it is upgrade and support. Its like $8)

However, I dont know how to get my free upgrade...I checked my email for anything from Raxco, but its my email that I dont use anymore. I dont remember seeing anything from them...
