Berlin, February 20, 2008 - O&O Defrag 10, the multiple award winning program made by the Berlin-based company, O&O Software GmbH, was once again declared Editor’s Choice in a major comparison test conducted by Computer BILD, Germany’s most popular IT magazine. Running almost in a field by itself, O&O Defrag left the commercially available products from all other third-party developers far behind. Its easy-to-use operation and time saving application made it especially stand out from the others.

The test was conducted on a 40 Gigabyte hard disc, jam packed with a chaotic accumulation of random data. In almost no time at all, O&O Defrag 10 managed to straighten out the hard disc and achieve an enormous increase in performance. Other programs, like Windows-XP-Defragmentation, weren’t able to bring about any measurable improvement.

The result is crystal clear: "O&O Defrag 10 is once again the best third-party provider of defragmentation for Windows."

Quotes from Computer BILD:

"O&O Defrag 10 was by far the easiest product to use, both under XP and Vista. The program also offers a wide range of settings options, such as time scheduling."

"The amount of time saved when copying a large file, for example, was enormous."

Improving Performance with Defrag 10

Fragmentation is the main cause of significant performance losses in Windows. Due to the fact that the hard disk is the slowest component of a computer, its optimization is an especially important issue. By using O&O Defrag 10, files can be read and written much more quickly. What at first seems to be lost performance can easily be rediscovered and realized again with O&O Defrag 10, giving you the peace of mind that your hardware is in good health and operating optimally.
