All Things PerfectDisk – and Defrag - Windows 7 -- defrag with confidence

Whether it's Windows 7, Vista or XP, or a server OS such as Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003, many users are quick to jump to the conclusion that Microsoft has caused a problem when an application runs into an issue. But there are rules to follow when writing applications that interact with Microsoft's Windows operating systems. And unfortunately, not all software providers follow the rules.

But some users are more observant and savvy than others. Take Lee Archer of Manchester, United Kingdom. Lee is a Technical Analyst who spends a lot if his time digging into and deploying IT solutions; that is, when he's not tinkering with all kinds of gadgets and technology, which he does in his spare time. Lee, whose Twitter handle is @Leod_UK, was recently commenting on Twitter that "people are very quick to criticise Windows because it's Windows and Microsoft, when it's not actually the OS at fault." He's right - it's a common misconception.

Many people recognize the value of Microsoft certified application; others think it's superfluous. Well, whether it's a Windows 7 defrag that PerfectDisk is performing, or managing duplicate files, there are certain rules that need to be followed. We know it, because we often see misbehaving applications causing havoc to users' machines. If there's havoc to be played on someone's PC or server, we want to ensure it's not because of PerfectDisk. That's why we go through the time and expense of certifying PerfectDisk with Microsoft. As Lee points out, "PerfectDisk is a (excuse the pun) Perfect Example of a Windows application done properly." If you're going to defrag Windows 7 - or any other Windows OS - do it with confidence.

And you won't have to worry about blame because you'll be problem free.
