It provides rich functionality, pretty and consistent user interface and some non-trivial but very useful, tricky capabilities.

Compare the program with…
- Restorator 2007. All in This World Can Be Changed. — There are complex historical reasons, which have caused the situation, where some things possible theoretically, are impossible practically. Sorry for the hazy phrase; all I had to say is that I would want to have all programs in my computer to be like «Lego» things: If I like some piece, I can get it and use it; if I dislike some part, I can just throw it away. I’d want to have…

- Personal Chess Trainer 2007, And Now, It's Possible! — The chess game is one of the most ancient, non-trivial and brain-changing game since the humanity’s origin. It is well-known that it is much easier to «understand the rules» (how each figure moves, and what to do basically) than to really «learn chess». Some have even argued that there’s no way to learn chess on your own by just playing or reading books. But now, it’s possible! You…
- Noki 1.4, Opening Nokia — Transferring essential data between a PC and a mobile phone isn’t an easy task. Typically, we have to get on with two «independent» information storages, the main (PC) and a mobile (phone) without any connections. Software provided by a phone manufacturer usually can’t fully solve the problem. For Nokia phones, we have Nokia PC Suite (made by Nokia), which can easily make *backup* of all…
- Fast Explorer 2007 v2.2.9, Click What You Need — There’s a very handy «file context menu» concept implemented in Windows Explorer, which means you’re always only «one right-click away» from the most appropriate actions for this type of file or folder.
